Details
The market prices Liam Broady at 1.07 (implied ~93.5%). Based on the available research, Volodymyr Iakubenko has a very limited, recent record (3-4) with consecutive losses on hard/carpet surfaces and no clear indicators of form or experience to suggest he can realistically challenge a heavy favorite. That profile supports a substantially higher true probability for Broady than the implied 93.5%; we estimate Broady's win probability at 97%. At decimal odds 1.07 this produces a small positive edge (EV ≈ 3.79%). Given the scarcity of mitigating factors in the research (injuries, strong recent wins for the home player, or surface advantage), taking the heavy favorite here shows value.
Key factors
- • Iakubenko's limited recent career (3-4) and lack of wins in the provided span
- • Recent losses for Iakubenko on the same surfaces (hard/carpet) seen in the research
- • Market already prices Broady as a heavy favorite (1.07), consistent with the observed quality gap
