Pros

• - No detailed head-to-head or recent in-event form data available, increasing uncertainty

Details

We favor Julia Avdeeva based on a large experience and historical win-rate advantage versus Laura Hietaranta. Research shows Hietaranta has a 10-21 career record through early September 2025 with limited match volume (31 matches) and poor recent form, while Avdeeva has an extensive career (559-507) and proven adaptability across surfaces including clay. Both players have recent losses, so form is not pristine, but Avdeeva's depth of experience and higher baseline win rate imply a materially higher true win probability than the market-implied price of 1.758. Using a conservative estimated win probability for Avdeeva of 62% (0.62) yields a fair decimal price of ~1.613; the current away price of 1.758 therefore offers positive expected value (EV = 0.62 * 1.758 - 1 ≈ 0.089, or ~8.9% ROI). We note limited head-to-head and sparse recent-match detail, so we conservatively size our probability, but at the quoted odds the bet remains a value play.

Key factors

• • Avdeeva's extensive career experience and higher cumulative win rate (559-507) versus Hietaranta's 10-21 record
• • Both players show recent losses, but Avdeeva's broader match history suggests greater consistency and adaptability on clay
• • Market-implied probability (1/1.758 ≈ 56.9%) appears below our conservative true estimate (62%), creating value
