Denis Shapovalov has managed to win at least a set in both of his previous meetings with Jannik Sinner, which shows he has the tools to challenge the Italian for stretches.
While Sinner remains the clear favourite here, Shapovalov’s confidence appears to be trending upward lately. If he can maintain a solid level on serve and take his chances in a few return games, he should be able to stay competitive enough on the scoreboard.

- He has a 5–28 career record vs Top 5 opponents.
- Jannik Sinner holds a 4–0 record in third rounds at Indian Wells.

Shapovalov Revives Form in Indian Wells
Denis Shapovalov reached the third round in Indian Wells after back-to-back three-set wins over Stefanos Tsitsipas and Tomas Martin Etcheverry. It is his first consecutive wins at a Masters event since Shanghai in 2024.
After struggling with form for a few years, Shapovalov produced a strong resurgence last season with four semifinal-or-better finishes, including two titles.
His results this year have been mixed, with a semifinal in Dallas but early exits in his other events.
Shapovalov has lost his last three third-round matches in Indian Wells. His only win at this stage came in 2019 when he reached the fourth round.

Sinner Finds Top Gear
Jannik Sinner defeated Dalibor Svrcina 6-1 6-1 to reach the third round in Indian Wells. It was his most dominant scoreline of the season so far.
The Italian has faced a few setbacks this year, including losses to Jakub Mensik in Doha and Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open. He also struggled on serve in that event, being broken six times by Eliot Spizzirri.
Those results, along with Carlos Alcaraz’s strong start this season, have increased the pressure in the race for the world No.1 ranking.
However, Sinner has been extremely consistent at this stage of Masters events. Since the start of 2023 he has not lost a completed third-round match and also holds a 4-0 record in Indian Wells at this stage.
