Pros

• + Clear recommendation not to bet when current prices show negative EV

• - If unprovided context (e.g., ranking, recent training, conditions) favors Katarina, our estimate could be too conservative

Details

The market prices Katarina Zavatska at 1.29 (implied win probability ~77.5%). Our review of the provided profiles shows both players with nearly identical career records (10-21) across clay and hard and recent form showing losses for each; there is no clear performance or injury edge in the provided data. Given the lack of differentiating evidence, we assign a conservative true win probability for the home player of 55%. At that probability the fair odds would be ~1.818, meaning the current market price of 1.29 offers large negative expected value and no profitable edge. Therefore we do not recommend taking the favorite at current prices.

Key factors

• • Market implies a ~77.5% chance for the home player, which is unsupported by the comparative performance data
