Randy’s Pick
Cirstea is the better player when they’re both at the top of their game, but she’s been a bit shaky since a deep run in Miami. Frech hasn’t faced the toughest competition over the last few weeks, but she’s winning, and the confidence has to be there at this point. This is a good opportunity for Frech and an upset shouldn’t be considered that crazy.
Give me Frech and the plus money.
