Jessica Pegula vs Naomi Osaka, a heavyweight battle

Question

This feels like an even match on tap tonight. Pegula just ran through Adelaide to meet Madison Keys in the Final and lose. As a World #6, she has been on the rise in the last year playing the world's best as in Aryna Sabalenka at the US Open and hung in there but lost. Jess can play with anyone. I expect Osaka to give her a run for the money. With the wildfires close to Osaka's home, I would think she has some distraction going on in her head which may be a help to Jessica to pull out a win

The line tells me otherwise that it wont be a smooth sail for Pegula, at -400
