Rafael Nadal vs. Nick Kyrgios: Preview and betting tips

The most interesting match of the Indian Wells quarterfinals should be the duel between Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios. Although the Spanish tennis player is the paper favourite to advance, he will definitely face a very difficult task. The Australian is in the form of his life here.

Rafael Nadal is a 35-year-old tennis player originally from Spain. He is currently ranked fourth on the ATP rankings, but he is not far behind the leader Daniil Medvedev.

The Mallorca native has not lost a competitive match in the 2022 calendar year. Thus, he scored in Melbourne, Australian Open and Acapulco, Mexico. He also continued in a similar vein in Indian Wells, where he took on Korda, Evans and Opelka.

His opponent on Thursday will be Australian Nick Kyrgios. The 26-year-old tennis player is only 132nd on the ATP rankings, but in the past he was ranked 13th. The main reason is the fact that Kyrgios does not participate in smaller tournaments.

If Kyrgios plays his best tennis, he can beat anyone. He has taken on Sebastian Baez, Federico Delbonis and Casper Ruud on American concrete. He did not have to play in the eighth round as Jannik Sinner was unable to play due to health problems.

On Thursday, the players will compete for the tenth time in their careers. The Spanish player is better off, having been able to enjoy victory on five occasions. The Australian would like to even the score and will not be without a chance. He hasn’t lost a set in Indian Wells so far.

So we can look forward to an even match that could offer three sets. Only three times in the matches between these players has the loser left the court without winning at least one set.
