Details
We compare the market price (Molleker 1.181, implied 84.7% win probability) to our assessment of the true win probability. Molleker is the clear favorite given higher-level results and a better career trajectory versus Steiner, but both players' recent records are middling and neither profile shows clear grass-court pedigree; Steiner has substantial match experience but a weaker win rate. We estimate Molleker's true win probability at ~75%, which implies fair decimal odds of ~1.333. At the offered 1.181 the market overprices Molleker (market-implied 84.7% > our 75%), so there is no positive expected value on the favorite at current prices. Therefore we recommend taking no side on the moneyline. Odds used for EV calculation: home 1.181.
Key factors
- • Market strongly favors Molleker (implied 84.7%) leaving little room for value
- • Our assessment gives Molleker ~75% chance — quality gap exists but not extreme
- • Both players have limited or unclear grass-court form; surface uncertainty reduces confidence
- • No clear injury information or H2H advantage to justify taking the heavy favorite
