Details

Market pricing strongly favors Lukas Klein at 1.34 (implied ~74.6%), but the underlying form and career win rates from the available profiles do not support such a dominant edge. Adria Soriano Barrera has a notably higher career win percentage (44-22, ~66.7%) versus Klein (37-27, ~57.8%), and both players have recent activity on hard courts, so surface exposure is comparable. Given the discrepancy between market-implied probabilities and on-paper performance, we estimate Barrera's true win probability at 50% (a conservative figure that already accounts for variance and small-sample noise). At that probability, the fair break-even decimal price is 2.00, well below the current 3.30 available for Barrera, producing clear positive expectation. We therefore recommend backing the away player because the current odds materially overvalue Klein relative to Barrera's demonstrated win rate and comparable surface history.

Key factors
