Bringit is way better at prematch betting than I am - if I ever go in and say I am 100% certain he is incorrect that should be your clue I am correct - because I basically never take that opinion and voice it unless I am certain ! I don’t do it for internet fame or bullshit like that - I do it trying to repay them for helping you guys
Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

Mirra is of course the stronger player - but the odds for tomorrow are insane - odds +340 on Maja - yes please - Mirra is notorious for not handling pressure very well - and the crowd will be on Majas side - if Mirra struggles at any point tomorrow - this will spiral out of control - this is a no brainer

The last time Mirra got on the wrong side of the French crowd she lost to a +500 underdog in straight sets. Maja may not be the hometown hero like Boisson but the crowd will almost certainly look to rally around Cinderella in this situation.
If Mirra is on her best behavior she should be able to endure this but if she starts getting bratty, as we have seen before, the crowd will be quick to turn on her which would likely impact the match significantly.
And then you have the pressure. Mirra is, and has been for several years, a "future grand slam champion". Maja is simply a qualifier who came in with no expectations and you can tell that by how freely she is able to play.
Mirra's most notable meltdown this year was, in my opinion, a direct result of too much pressure and the fear of failing to live up to expectations. She failed to defend her first masters title from last year after an early exit and as a result she came to Indian Wells with double the pressure to defend that result and we saw how that played out against Siniakova.
Even if you don't bet against her before the match it would be foolish for everyone to not at least be prepared to jump in should things start going sideways.
