Details

We see value on Axel Garcian (home) at 1.971. The market currently prices Alexis Gautier as the favorite (1.758 implied ~56.9%), but the available background suggests Garcian has the surface advantage (has played clay) and a better overall record (24-23 vs 15-20). Gautier's profile shows play primarily on hard courts, which reduces his projected win probability on a clay event in Bagneres De Bigorre. Adjusting for surface and recent form, we estimate Garcian's true win probability at ~55.0%, which implies fair odds of ~1.818; the market price of 1.971 therefore offers positive expected value. We account for bookmaker margin and limited sample sizes in both players' records, so we remain conservative with our probability estimate but still find the current price profitable.

Key factors

• • Surface: Garcian has clay experience while Gautier's profile is primarily hard-court
• • Career records favor Garcian (24-23 vs 15-20) indicating greater win baseline
• • Market prices favor Gautier despite surface mismatch, creating value for Garcian
