Highlights

• • Cina slightly higher career win rate and comparable surface history
• • Current odds 1.57 offer a small positive EV (~+2.05%) vs our 65% estimate

Pros

• + Market underprices Cina by a small margin vs our probability estimate
• + Both players' surfaces overlap, reducing a surface-based disadvantage

Cons

• - Recent form: both players arriving off recent losses, increasing variance
• - No head-to-head data and Rennes surface/conditions not specified — adds uncertainty

Details

We estimate Federico Cina to be a slight favorite based on career win rates and comparable surface experience. Cina's career record (46-23, ~66.7% wins) is marginally stronger than Lucas Poullain's (49-29, ~62.8% wins). Both players have recent losses in late-August/early-September events, so form is mixed and short-term momentum is neutral. The market prices Cina at 1.57 (implied ~63.7%). We assess his true win probability around 65.0%, which implies fair odds of ~1.538; the current price of 1.57 therefore offers a small positive expected value (EV ≈ +0.0205 per 1 unit stake). Key uncertainties that reduce confidence are the lack of H2H, the exact Rennes surface/conditions not specified, and both players showing recent defeats. Given those caveats, the market appears to slightly underprice Cina and a back of the home side at 1.57 is a small-value wager.

Key factors

• • Federico Cina career win rate ~66.7% vs Lucas Poullain ~62.8%
• • Both players have primary experience on clay and hard (surface in Rennes not specified)
• • Market price (1.57) implies ~63.7% — our model values Cina at ~65%, giving small edge
