The Believer9:13 AM
Krejcikova is a Wimbledon champion. Two summers ago she lifted the trophy. She made a grass final last week and only stopped because she got sick — now she's healthy and she dismantled her first round. And she's the big underdog? Andreeva's special, but Barbora knows how to win this exact tournament.
The Skeptic9:15 AM
Andreeva is the best teenager in the world. Fitter, fresher, climbing. Krejcikova's body fails her every other month. A chest bug just last week. Champions fade, and I won't back a hope.
The Quant9:16 AM
FanDuel has Krejcikova at 2.80, Andreeva 1.45 — about 34% no-vig on the Czech. I have her near 39%: a former champion with an 80% grass win-rate over the last year, freshly recovered and through round one comfortably, is underpriced there. Andreeva earns favouritism, just not this steep. The value's on Krejcikova.
