Highlights

• • Sieg has vastly more career matches and a higher career win rate
• • Current market overvalues Jokic relative to the experience gap

Pros

• + Positive expected value at current odds (EV ~14%)
• + Sieg's greater experience and larger sample suggest a more stable true probability estimate

Cons

• - Both players show recent losses in the research, indicating form uncertainty
• - No head-to-head data provided and Jokic's younger sample could still contain variability

Details

We see clear value backing Madison Sieg at the current home price of 2.43. The research shows Sieg has a long career and a substantially larger match sample (1066 matches, 559-507 record) versus Katarina Jokic's much smaller sample (31 matches, 10-21 record). Both players have recent losses noted, but both have experience on clay and hard per the profiles, so surface mismatch is not a clear advantage for Jokic. The market makes Jokic the favorite at 1.515 (implied ~66%); we project Sieg's true win probability materially higher than the implied 41.2% given her career win rate, experience edge, and Jokic's limited results. Using an estimated true probability of 47.0%, the break-even decimal odds are 2.128 and the current 2.43 quote yields a positive expected value (EV = 0.47 * 2.43 - 1 = 0.1421, ~14.2% ROI). We therefore recommend the home side only because EV > 0 at the available price; if odds move below ~2.13 the value disappears.

Key factors

• • Large experience advantage: Madison Sieg (1066 matches) vs Katarina Jokic (31 matches)
• • Career win-rate differential: Sieg ~52.5% career wins vs Jokic ~32% in available sample
• • Both players have exposure on clay and hard, so no clear surface mismatch in research
