 Egas Fiontek vs. Serana Castel with the fourth quarter final for the ladies at Indian Wells for 2023. Both players have been very impressive to get to this stage. Castel started the tournament off unseated and will take on the qualifier bureau in the first round. This pose no problem getting through in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. In the second round she take on the 19th seed Keys who had been battling injury of late and after winning the first set 6-1 Keys was forced to retire in the second allowing Castel to get through. In the third round she take on Perra who had just taken out Sampson over in an epic match. This was no problem for Castel winning through in straights 6-3, 6-1. In the fourth round she take on Caroline Garcia the number 5 seed who was coming off a final only a week ago. And this match was brutal with Castel eventually getting through in a tight third set 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 to advance to the quarter finals. Fiontek started the tournament off as the number 1 seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round she take on Lou the American but this was no problem for Fiontek getting through in straights 6-1. In the third round she take on the 30 second seed on Drescu who she had played last year on the clay. And after a close second set Fiontek would have to fight to get through 6-3, 7-6 to get to the fourth round. In the fourth round she take on Emirado Canu who had been very impressive this week beating Hadajmaia in the third round. But this didn't phase Fiontek getting through in straights sets easily 6-3, 6-1 to get to another quarter final. These two have only played the one time before that was actually at the Australian Open last year which Fiontek getting the win but Castel did win the first set in that match 7-5 so maybe Castel can use those memories. If Castel is going to win this one she needs to keep her cool and she needs to make Fiontek run around. Also get off to a really good start because what happens which Fiontek in the first few games she either comes out nervous or a little bit slow so Castel has got to take advantage of that slow start for Fiontek. If Fiontek is going to win she has to limit the errors. The forehand has been a little bit off this week. She got away with it against Rado Canu but the forehand doesn't seem to be working as well as maybe she would like going into these later stages so she needs to get that forehand working and really just play the way she's been playing. If the forehand starts working she could open the bakery again. This is an interesting matchup because I think no one expected Castel to be here and of course Fiontek is going to always be in the quarter finals. I'm going to go to Fiontek in straights sets. I think it might be close though. I think Castel might surprise a few but I think Fiontek is going to win this match and keep going on. Let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this quarter final?
