Highlights

- • Bartunkova at 2.70 exceeds our required price of 2.50 for a 40% win probability
Pros

- + No clear disadvantage in the provided research (form/surface/injury) for the underdog
Cons

- - If Frech's true form or matchup edge (not present in the provided sources) is better than shown, value evaporates
Details
The market prices Frech as a clear favorite at 1.508 (implied ~66.3%) while Bartunkova is available at 2.70 (implied ~37.0%). The available research shows very similar career records and recent form for both players, with no clear injury or surface advantage for Frech. Given the parity in available data, we estimate Bartunkova's true win probability materially above the market-implied 37.0% — we assess her chance at 40.0%. At that probability the 2.70 quote offers positive expected value (EV = 0.40*2.70 - 1 = +0.08), and the breakeven decimal price for our estimate is 2.50. We recommend betting the home underdog only because current prices exceed our min_required_decimal_odds; if the price drifts below ~2.50 there is no value.
Key factors
- • Both players show near-identical career records and recent form in the provided data
- • No injury, surface or clear matchup advantage appears for the favorite in the research
- • Market heavily favors Frech; price on Bartunkova at 2.70 exceeds our breakeven of 2.50
