In the first round of the 2022 Indian Wells Open, contemporaries Amanda Anisimova and Emma Navarro will face off.
Amanda Anisimova got off to a strong start at the Melbourne Summer Set 2, winning the title at the expense of several of the competition's higher-ranked competitors. But, in the Australian Open 2022, she demonstrated her best performance to date by defeating Belinda Bencic in the second round and then upsetting Naomi Osaka in the final. Osaka was the defending champion, therefore it wasn't an easy job to defeat her, however, Amanda managed to do so and in the process, she proved her mettle. After failing to qualify for WTA Dubai and losing in the second round of the Doha Open to Jelena Ostapenko, Anisimova will attempt to get back on track in this competition.
In her brief appearances on the WTA tour, Emma Navarro is yet to create an impression. She lost in the first round of the Monterrey Open, her sole main draw appearance this year. Also, the ITF circuit is where the 20-year-old primarily participates. Navarro is currently ranked 200th in the world, which is also a career-high and is coming off a semifinal appearance at the ITF Rome 2022 event indoors. However, this is an incredible opportunity for her to build a reputation for herself. Also, only time will tell if she is capable of overcoming Amanda Anisimova, who has a much stronger pedigree.
