4. Best Same-Game Parlay Recommendation
Leg 1: Swiatek -3.5 (Spread) → Decimal Odds: 1.71 (59.1% implied)
Leg 2: Over 20.5 Games → Decimal Odds: 1.69 (59.1% implied)
Combined Implied Probability:
1 / (1.71 * 1.69) ≈ 34.6%.
Adjusted Probability (Assuming Independence):
64.6% (Swiatek -3.5) * 54.6% (Over 20.5) ≈ 35.3%.
EV: 35.3% > 34.6% → Positive EV.
Why This Parlay?
- Swiatek’s spread (-3.5) has positive EV due to her grass-court adjustments and Anisimova’s serve vulnerability.
- The Over 20.5 line is fairly priced, but Swiatek’s semifinal dominance (6-0 in 2nd set) and Anisimova’s semifinal comeback (3 sets) suggest a high-scoring final.
Risk Mitigation:
- If you’re risk-averse, swap the Over 20.5 for Under 21.5 (odds: 1.83 → 54.6% implied). Adjusted probability: 64.6% * 54.6% ≈ 35.3%, same as Over 20.5.
5. Final Verdict
Best Same-Game Parlay:
Swiatek -3.5 (Spread) + Over 20.5 Games
- Odds: ~2.89 (1/2.89 ≈ 34.6% implied).
- EV: +0.7% (35.3% adjusted vs. 34.6% implied).
Why?
Swiatek’s spread reflects her dominance, while the Over hinges on Anisimova’s aggressive playstyle and Swiatek’s potential to extend matches. This parlay balances risk and reward, leveraging both players’ tendencies.
Avoid:
- Anisimova outright (31.7% implied vs. 30% adjusted → negative EV).
- Under 20.5 (50% implied vs. 50% adjusted → neutral EV).
Final Thought:
Swiatek is the favorite, but Anisimova’s grass-court grit and Sabalenka-beating form make this final a thriller. Bet the spread and Over for maximum value.
