Details
We see a large market skew: Sonja Zhenikhova priced as a heavy favorite at 1.316 (implied ~76.0%) while Vicky Van De Peer is 3.18 (implied ~31.4%). The research profiles show near-identical records, surfaces and recent form for both players with no clear differentiator (both 10-21 overall, similar recent results). With so little to separate them, we judge the true win probability to be much closer to even than the market implies. We estimate Vicky Van De Peer's true win probability at 46%, which implies fair odds of ~2.174. At the available price of 3.18 this represents positive expected value (EV = 0.46 * 3.18 - 1 ≈ 0.463). The market appears to be overpricing the favorite and offering value on the underdog given the near-identical profiles and lack of surface/injury/H2H advantage.
Key factors
- • Profiles and recent records nearly identical (no clear edge)
- • Market heavily favors home (1.316) despite little evidence
- • Available away price (3.18) is well above our fair odds (~2.174)
