 Maria Zachary vs Pella Bedossa is the second semifinal at Indian Welles for the women for 2022 and these two have had a very similar path to get to the semifinals. Bedossa entered the tournament as the number five seed and got a buy in the first round. In the second round she'd take on Martin Kober and after a good first set she had to fight to win and avoid getting to a third eventually winning in straight sets 6-2, 7-6. In the third round she'd take on the 32nd seed and countrywoman Tormo and after a close first set Bedossa blitzed Tormo in straights 7-6, 6-1. In the fourth round she'd take on the 18 seed Fernandez and this was set up to be a blockbuster matchup but Bedossa had no worries winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. In a quarter final matchup she'd take on the number 21 seed Kudamatova who had a very successful week this week but it was no trouble for Bedossa who got through in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. Zachary entered the tournament as the number 6 seed and got a buy in the first round. Her second round matchup was against Czech Sinyakova and after an easy first set she had to fight in the second set to win 6-3, 7-5. In the third round she'd take on the 27th seed Petra Kovitova and after winning the first set she blitzed Kovitova in the second going through in straight sets 6-3, 6-1. In the fourth round she'd take on the qualifier Savl who had a very impressive run to get to this stage but unfortunately for Savl it was won too many matches and Zachary ended up getting through thanks to her retirement 4-1 in the first set with Savl retiring. In a quarter final matchup she'd take on the 17th seed Rybakina and after a close first set having to fight back to get it she ended up getting through in straight sets 7-5, 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals. Both these players have made the semi-finals without dropping a set this week the only two out of the four semi-finals not to drop a set all week and both players have been very very impressive they've only played the ones before that was actually at the WTO finals last year in Guadalajara and it was a straight sets win to Badasa but it was a very close straight sets win a tie break in the first set so I'm expecting something of the same this time if Badasa is going to win she needs to serve well and the forehand needs to work that's what was so impressive in her quarter final matchup that big serve and the big forehand they were the things that were working against Kudamitoba they need to work against Zachary. If Zachary is going to win she needs to be patient she's played a very similar player to Badasa in her quarter final matchup and also she's already played Kovitova who she blitzed as well so I'm interested to see how Zachary can be patient and stay patient like she was against Rabakina and get those serves back not lose her cool maybe she can force Badasa to run which is not really Badasa's strength just like the other semi-final this is a very close call but I'm going to go with Zachary to win this one defeating the defending champion but it's going to be a close three setter maybe a tiebreaker in the third that'd be great but let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this semi-final
