Details
We estimate Elena Ruxandra Bertea is the value side. Her long career win-rate (~52.5% over 1,066 matches) and multi-surface experience (including clay) contrast with Despina Papamichail's much smaller sample (31 matches, ~32.3% win rate) and poorer recent results. The market prices Bertea at 1.549 (implied win probability ~64.6%). Based on comparative career win rates, surface experience, and recent form signals favoring the more experienced player, we estimate Bertea's true win probability at 66.0%, which exceeds the market-implied probability and yields a small positive EV. We remain cautious because recent match-level form for both players shows losses and there is limited direct H2H/contextual data for this pairing, so uncertainty is material.
Key factors
- • Large experience gap and higher career win-rate for Bertea (559-507 vs Papamichail 10-21)
- • Both players recent form shows losses, but Bertea's broader match experience on clay favors her
- • Current market-implied probability (1.549 => ~64.6%) is slightly below our estimated true probability (66%)
