Hubert Hurkacz has the stronger pedigree at Masters level, but his recent form has been far from convincing. While the matchup still leans in his favour on paper, his performances lately leave some room for doubt.
Instead, this looks like a spot for tight sets. With both players likely to come through their service games quite comfortably, the over games market makes the most sense here.
Hurkacz Looks To Rebound
- Hubert Hurkacz has a 5–1 opening-round record at Indian Wells.
- He is currently on a four-match losing streak.
- Kovacevic has a 6–4 record against players outside the Top 50 this year.
- He holds a 0–4 record at Indian Wells, including qualifying.
HTH
This will be their first meeting.
Hurkacz Searching for Winning Touch
Hubert Hurkacz ended his 2025 season early after knee surgery following the grass swing. He returned to action in January and delivered an impressive performance at the United Cup.
However, he has struggled to maintain that level since then. Hurkacz has lost four of his last five matches, including three consecutive opening-round exits.
This will be his seventh appearance at the Indian Wells Open. He reached at least the fourth round in his first three visits, including quarterfinal runs in 2019 and 2021, but has won only two matches across his last three campaigns.

Kovacevic Trying to Rebuild Confidence
Aleksandar Kovacevic began the season strongly with a semifinal run at the Brisbane International. Wins over Nick Kyrgios and Cameron Norrie helped him reach a career-high ranking of No. 54.
However, he has struggled to build on that momentum in the following weeks. Across seven tournaments since then he has won only four matches, including several opening-round exits and failing to defend runner-up points in Canadian Open.
Kovacevic has played four times at the Indian Wells Open, including qualifying, but has yet to record a win.

Verdict
This matchup points toward a long and closely contested battle. Over 22.5 games and over 10.5 games in the first set both look appealing, with a tiebreak very much in play. A small punt on Hurkacz to win outright could also be worth adding.
