Details

We estimate Lucca Helguera Casado's chance to win at roughly 42%. His documented career record (7-11 across 18 matches) and sparse recent results provide limited evidence of a reliable edge. The market price (home 1.382) implies a 72.3% chance, far richer than our view. Using our probability, the current decimal price offers negative expected value (EV = 0.42 * 1.382 - 1 = -0.420). With no data provided on Ruben Fernandez Ruiz and only a modest win rate for Lucca on clay, we cannot justify backing the heavy favorite at available odds.

Key factors

• • Limited sample size and sub-.500 career record (7-11 across 18 matches)
• • Match surface is clay; available data does not show clear clay dominance
• • Market strongly favors the home player (implied ~72%) despite limited supporting evidence
• • No provided data on the opponent (Ruben Fernandez Ruiz), increasing uncertainty
