Details
The market price for Remy Bertola (1.06, implied win prob 94.34%) is tight but still offers a small edge versus our estimated true probability. Bertola has a large match sample (78 matches, 45-33) and consistent clay experience, while Michele Mecarelli has only 4 recorded matches (1-3) and limited clay exposure and form. The gap in experience, career win rate and surface familiarity strongly favors Bertola. We do note a recent match recorded as a retirement for Bertola which raises a small injury risk; we nonetheless assess his baseline win chance above the market-implied level, producing positive EV at the quoted 1.06 price.
