Details
We see value backing Soo Ha Jang at 2.10. The market prices the away player (Nagi Hanatani) as ~59.9% favorite while Jang is ~47.6% implied. From the provided research Jang brings a long career (substantially larger sample size) and a higher career win rate (559-507 ≈ 52.7%) versus Hanatani's much smaller sample (10-21 ≈ 32.3%). Both have recent losses on hard courts, but Hanatani's limited match history and lower win rate increase variance and the likelihood that the market has overstated her probability. We estimate Jang's true chance higher than the 47.6% implied by 2.10, at ~57.0%, which produces positive expected value versus the current price. Using the current decimal 2.10, EV = 0.57*2.10 - 1 = +0.197 (≈19.7% ROI per unit). We acknowledge uncertainty from limited recent-form detail and single-match context, so we rate this as a medium-risk value play.
Key factors
- • Large experience gap and much larger career sample for Soo Ha Jang
- • Career win-rate advantage for Jang (≈52.7% vs ≈32.3%)
- • Both players have recent losses on hard, but market favors the less-proven Hanatani
