Details

We compare market-implied probabilities to our assessment. The current moneyline prices imply ~66.5% for Katarina Jokic (home) and ~41.0% for Madison Sieg (away) (total market vig ~7.5%). Research shows virtually identical career profiles (both 10-21 records, similar surfaces played and recent results), with no clear edge for Jokic in form, surface preference, or injuries. Given the parity in the data, we view this matchup as roughly even-to-slightly-favoring the underdog when accounting for market bias toward the listed favorite. We estimate Madison Sieg's true win probability at 48%, which is materially higher than the market-implied 41.0% and produces positive expected value at the current decimal price of 2.44. At our estimated probability the minimum fair odds required are ~2.083; the available 2.44 therefore represents value.

Key factors

• • Players have nearly identical career records and surfaces played (Clay, Hard)
• • Recent form presented in research shows no clear advantage for the favorite
• • Market-implied probability for the favorite appears inflated (vig ~7.5%)
