After the conclusion of the round of 32 fixtures of the Indian Wells Masters, the stage is set for a blockbuster encounter between two Grand Slam winners on the women’s tour. The former Australian Open champion, Caroline Wozniacki, will lock horns with the 3-time singles Grand Slam champion, Angelique Kerber, in a high-profile R16 match. As both the former world No. 1 players will be vying for a deep run at ‘Tennis Paradise,’ it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this exciting clash.

The outdoor hard court event, which is part of the WTA 1000 category, features some of the top guns on the women’s tour contesting at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Though high-profile matches usually take place in the latter stages, one will be seen in the round of 16 of the BNP Paribas Open.

Caroline Wozniacki vs Angelique Kerber: Indian Wells Open round of 16 match preview

After a lackluster run at the San Diego Open, Caroline Wozniacki is now back on the court at the WTA 1000 tournament. Entering the Indian Wells Masters as an unseeded participant, the Danish tennis star brushed aside the likes of Zhu Lin and Donna Vekić in straight sets of her initial round matches. In the round of 32, Wozniacki then defeated her American opponent, Katie Volynets, while pulling off a bagel set, 6-2, 4-4, 6-0.

Angelique Kerber, on the other hand, is coming to the Indian Wells Open after her first-round defeat at the Linz Open. In her first two games of the event, the German tennis player overcame Petra Martić and Jeļena Ostapenko to reach the round of 32. Kerber then breezed past Veronika Kudermetova in a straight-set game, 6-4, 7-5.
