Details

We view this as a clear value opportunity on the home player (Carole Monnet). The research data shows nearly identical career records, recent form and surface exposure for both players, with no distinguishing injuries or H2H information provided. That parity supports an implied true win probability near 50% for each player, whereas the market heavily favors Joanna Garland at 1.34 (implied ~74.6%). At our estimated true probability of 50% the home moneyline of 3.15 represents substantial value: EV = 0.5 * 3.15 - 1 = +0.575 (57.5% ROI per unit). Even if we conservatively adjust the true probability slightly in favor of the away player, the home line remains attractive unless Carole’s true win probability is below ~31.7% (the bookmaker-implied probability). Given identical publicly-available metrics in the research and no additional negative signals for the home player, we side with the underdog at current pricing.

Key factors

• • Both players show nearly identical career records and recent form in the provided research
• • No injuries, surface disadvantages, or H2H information identified to separate them
