Details
We see a clear pricing edge on Alexander Vasilev at 2.75. The market makes Emil Ruusuvuori a strong favorite, but the underlying research shows both players have similar win totals this year and Ruusuvuori carries a worse overall record (6-10 vs Vasilev 6-6). Ruusuvuori's recent results include a straight loss at a high-level event (US Open), indicating form volatility. Vasilev has recent match wins on clay and a tighter win-loss balance, suggesting his true chance is higher than the implied 36.4% priced by the market. Conservatively valuing Vasilev at a 40.0% win probability yields a required fair price of 2.50 decimal odds; the offered 2.75 therefore provides positive expected value. We account for limited sample sizes and possible surface/venue effects, so we keep the true probability conservative while still showing a meaningful edge.
