The ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells 1/32-finals continue with several interesting matchups. In-form Etcheverry faces Shapovalov in a surface contrast, Prizmic takes on Fils after battling through qualifying, while Sinner meets another qualifier in Svrcina. With class and hard-court ability likely to play a major role, there are some solid value spots across these clashes.

ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells 1/32-Finals

Etcheverry – Shapovalov: 07.03.2026 00:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Tomas Martin Etcheverry has won five straight matches. The last match he played was in Rio de Janeiro, where he won the title, winning against Tabilo in the final in three tight sets.

Denis Shapovalov has won three of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Shapovalov outlasted Tsitsipas in the opening round in three tight sets. Last season at the Indian Wells, Shapovalov lost to Alcaraz in the third round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Shapovalov is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Etcheverry has not played any hard-court matches since the Australian Open. Shapovalov is a better hard-court player, and we expect him to win.

That being said, Shapovalov covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Denis Shapovalov -2.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365

Prizmic – FIls: 06.03.2026 23:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Dino Prizmic has won four of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Prizmic qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both qualifying matches in straight sets. In the opening main draw round, Prizmic outlasted Schoolkate in three tight sets.

Arthur Fils has won four of his last five matches. The last match he played was in Doha, where he lost to Alcaraz in the final in straight sets. Last season in Indian Wells, Fils lost to Medvedev in the quarterfinals in three tight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Fils is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He has been playing well since coming back from an injury. Fils is a better hard-court player than Prizmic, and we expect him to get a comfortable win.

That being said, Fils covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Arthur Fils -3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365

Svrcina – Sinner: 07.03.2026 03:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Dalibor Svrcina has won four of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Svrcina qualified for the main draw tournament by winning both qualifying matches in straight sets. In the opening main draw round, Svrcina defeated Duckworth in straight sets.

Jannik Sinner has won three of his last five matches. The last match he played was in Doha, where he lost to Mensik in the quarterfinals in three sets. He has never made it past the semifinals here.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Sinner is the clear favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Svrcina is a Challenger Tour player. Sinner has all the weapons to dominate in this matchup and get a comfortable win.

That being said, Sinner covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Jannik Sinner -7.5 games handicap @2.25 @bet365
