Details
We estimate Sandro Kopp has the edge despite the market pricing Dennis Novak as the slight favorite. Kopp's career win rate (48-26 across 75 matches) and recent match results are stronger than Novak's (31-26 across 57 matches), while both players' recent recorded events in the Research were on clay — suggesting limited direct information on grass but no clear advantage for Novak. The market decimal for Kopp (2.08, implied win probability ~48.1%) underprices our assessed true probability for Kopp (~55%), producing positive expected value. The book is slightly overstating Novak (1.763 -> implied ~56.7%) versus our view. Given the limited surface-specific data and both players' activity profiles, we assign some uncertainty but still find value on Kopp at available prices.
