Details
We find value on Helena Stevic at 4.35. The book market implies Helena ~22.99% while Isabella is priced at ~85.40%. The player profiles show nearly identical career records (Helena 10-21, Isabella 10-22) and both have recent straight losses on hard courts; there are no injury notes or clear surface advantage in the provided research. Given parity in record and recent form, the market appears to over-favor Isabella. We estimate Helena's true win probability materially above the implied 23% — we conservatively place it at 30%. At that probability Helena's fair price is ~3.333; the available 4.35 offers positive expected value. EV calculation: EV = 0.30 * 4.35 - 1 = 0.305 (30.5% ROI). We acknowledge uncertainty and possible hidden factors not in the provided data, so we set risk as medium.
