Details

Both players present nearly identical profiles in the provided research: matching 10-21 records, similar surface experience (clay and hard) and weak recent form. The market prices Luisa Meyer Auf Der Heide as a heavy favorite (away 1.23, implied away win ~81.3%), which in turn implies Lucie Nguyen Tan has only ~26.3% chance at the quoted home price of 3.80. Given the parity in career records and surfaces and no clear injury or form edge in the research, we view the market price as a strong mispricing. We estimate Lucie’s true win probability substantially higher than the market-implied 26.3%—we use an estimated_true_probability of 48%. At the current decimal odds of 3.80 this yields EV = 0.48 * 3.80 - 1 = 0.824 (82.4% ROI on a 1-unit stake). The minimum fair decimal odds to justify a bet at our probability is 1 / 0.48 = 2.083; the market 3.80 is well above that threshold. We acknowledge high uncertainty due to both players’ poor recent results and limited differentiating information, so this is a value-seeking, higher-risk contrarian play.

Key factors

• • Nearly identical career records (10-21) and surface history
• • Market heavily favors the away player despite no clear edge in research
• • Recent form for both players is weak and offers little differentiation
