My photographer Jimmie48 is already in Indian Wells and now I’m glad to tell you that this year Karen Helf is also reporting for Women’s Tennis Blog. She’ll get there on Friday, but she’s starting her coverage with a quick preview of the draw.

The top four seeds headline each quarter. In the top half, we have world No.1 Simona Halep and No.3 Garbine Muguruza. Leading the bottom half are No.4 Elina Svitolina and No.2 Caroline Wozniacki. So if the seeds hold, Simona will play Caroline in the final, easy, right?
