Details
We view the current market (Away 1.321 implied ~75.7%) as overstating Emma Raducanu's win probability given the research showing both players with similar, weak recent records (10-21) on hard courts and no clear injury or head-to-head edge for Raducanu. At the offered home price of 3.52 (implied 28.4%), Jaqueline Adina Cristian needs only ~28.4% true chance to be +EV. We estimate Cristian's true win probability at ~35% based on comparable recent form on hard surfaces and the likelihood that the market is favoring Raducanu more on name/recency than on objective form. Using p=0.35 yields EV = 0.35*3.52 - 1 = +0.232 (23.2% ROI) — enough value to back Cristian at these prices.
Key factors
