We're into the second week of the event, and what better way to get in on the action than by making some wagers on the Indian Wells Betting Odds at FanDuel Sportsbook? The women's semifinals take place on Friday. Where can we find betting value? This looks like a classic mismatch between the top player in the world and one just outside the top After all, Iga Swiatek is a favorite. But Marta Kostyuk has quietly been enjoying a strong campaign, and while it's difficult to see her actually pulling off the upset, she might be able to at least keep things relatively competitive. Although Kostyuk has been aided by a walkover at Indian Wells, she's yet to drop a set and has done so while facing seeded players Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Anastasia Potapova. Overall, she's this season, recently finishing runner-up at San Diego and making it to the quarterfinals at the Australian Open. Her San Diego run included a win over fifth-ranked Jessica Pegula , further suggesting she can hang with tough competition. Of course, Iga is more than just "tough" competition. While she benefited from a retirement in the quarterfinals, she also hasn't dropped a set, even achieving a pair of bagels against Danielle Collins and Linda Noskova. Again, this is why it's hard to predict Kostyuk defeating Iga, and she might not even win a set.

Not only was the year-old Chinese woman a longshot to win the title—it was her first on tour—she has hardly established a reputation as a steady returner. For all of those big swings, there were lots of swings and misses. The game Yuan brought to Austin was something different. Like San Diego champ Katie Boulter, she took fewer risks than usual, trusting that she could win points a shot or two later. Against Wang Yafan on Friday, return points took six. Yet the week marks a major step forward. The year-old cracked the official top 50, and Elo now rates her as the second-best Chinese woman on tour. If she continues to put returns in play the way she did in Austin, she could climb even higher. Returns in play are good, but they come at a cost. Do you aim to stay in as many points as possible, accepting that a lot of your returns will be weak, or do you swing big, piling up errors in exchange for a handful of return winners and better odds when your returns find the court?
