Details
We estimate Holger Rune is the clear favorite based on the records in the provided profiles (Rune 38-21 vs Martinez Portero 23-35) and the recent-form indicators that show Rune with stronger results. The market price for Rune is 1.408 (implied ~71.0%). After adjusting raw season win rates for matchup context (Davis Cup pressure, neutral/unspecified surface, and Rune's heavier recent winning tendency), we estimate Rune's true win probability at 72.0%. That makes the current decimal price 1.408 slightly favorable versus our fair price (1 / 0.72 = 1.389). EV per 1-unit stake = 0.72 * 1.408 - 1 = +0.014 (about +1.4% ROI). The edge is small but positive; the recommendation is to back Rune only because the current market price exceeds our minimum required odds. Key uncertainties are Davis Cup surface/venue choice, lack of head-to-head data, and small sample noise in recent match listings.
