Details
We see the market prices Jelena Ostapenko as a heavy favorite (1.26, implied ~79.4%). Our read of the provided match data shows both players with nearly identical 2024–2025 records (10-21) and recent Challenger losses on hard courts, with no injury information or clear surface edge. While Ostapenko carries greater name recognition, the form and head-to-head context provided do not justify a true win probability near 80%. We estimate Ostapenko's true chance closer to ~62%, which makes the current favorite price overpriced by the market (negative EV). At our estimate, there is no positive expected value on either side at the quoted prices, so we recommend no bet.
