Highlights

• • Both players: 10-21 record and similar surface experience in the research
• • Home price 2.38 is materially above our break-even (2.00) for a 50% win chance

Pros

• + Clear value on home side versus implied market probability

Cons

• - Both players show poor recent form in the limited research, increasing match variance
• - Lack of H2H and contextual details raises uncertainty around the true edge

Details

We see both players with nearly identical profiles in the provided research: same career span, identical win-loss (10-21) and similar surfaces (hard/clay). There are no injuries, H2H data, or clear form differences in the supplied material that justify the market’s large lean toward Taylah Preston (away) at 1.524. The implied probability for Preston (1.524) is roughly 65.6%, while Hayu Kinoshita’s 2.38 price implies ~42.0%. Given parity in the available data, we estimate a roughly 50% true win probability for Kinoshita. At that estimated probability, the current home price (2.38) yields positive expected value (EV = 0.50 * 2.38 - 1 = +0.19, or +19% ROI). The market appears to be overpricing Preston relative to the evidence supplied, creating value on Kinoshita. We note uncertainty due to limited and similar form data for both players, but on a pure value basis the home side is attractive at the quoted odds.

Key factors

• • Both players show identical records and surfaces in the supplied research (no clear edge)
• • Market heavily favors the away player despite no evidence in the data provided
• • Current home odds (2.38) imply a substantially lower probability than our parity-based estimate
