Details

We estimate Kris Van Wyk's true win probability at ~53.5% based on career win rates (31-31), both players being hard-court specialists, and a slight edge in overall experience and matches played. The current decimal price for Kris (1.746) implies a win probability of 57.3%, which is higher than our estimate, producing negative expected value. Michael Bassem Sobhy's profile and more recent activity reduce confidence that Kris is underpriced enough to justify a bet. There is no H2H, no injury information, and recent results are mixed for both; given those factors the market favorite (Kris) does not offer value at the quoted 1.746, so we recommend no bet.

Key factors

• • Both players predominantly play on hard courts with similar overall records
• • Market-implied probability for the home favorite (57.3%) exceeds our estimated probability (53.5%)
• • No H2H data, limited distinguishing recent form, and no injury information to create clear value
