Details
We find value on Aliona Bolsova at 2.84. The market strongly favors Arantxa Rus (implied ~69.4%) despite Rus having a poor recent season-level win rate (10/31 ≈ 32%). Using Rus's documented recent form as a baseline, we believe the market overstates Rus's chance in this R16 match. Conservatively adjusting for match context (surface experience on clay/hard noted for Rus but no injury flags), we estimate Bolsova's true win probability at 44%, which implies required decimal odds of ~2.273 to break even. The current price 2.84 offers a positive expected value (EV = 0.44 * 2.84 - 1 ≈ +0.25), so a play on the home side represents profitable value under our model.
Key factors
- • Arantxa Rus season form is weak (10 wins, 21 losses in 31 matches recorded)
- • Market-implied probability (Rus ~69%) is substantially higher than her documented recent win rate
- • Current home price 2.84 exceeds our fair threshold (≈2.273), producing positive EV
