Details
We assess Marc Polmans as a clear favorite based on experience (44 matches, 24-20) versus Mustafa Ege Sik's extremely limited pro sample (3 matches, 1-2). Both have recent results on hard/grass, but Polmans' deeper match history and higher-level experience imply a substantially higher true win probability than the raw implied market volatility for a low-tier event. The market decimal odds of 1.06 imply a 94.34% probability. After adjusting for matchup context, surface alignment, and the small sample noise for Sik, we estimate Polmans' true probability at about 95.0%. That produces a small positive edge versus the market (EV = 0.95 * 1.06 - 1 = +0.007), meaning the current price slightly underestimates Polmans' win chances and offers marginal value. This is a very small edge and sensitive to minor probability shifts (injury, withdrawal, or mispricing), so the recommendation is based solely on the narrow positive expected value at the quoted 1.06 price.
Key factors

- • Both players have recent matches on hard/grass; Polmans has more consistent form exposure
