WTA market beaters: win rate against closing odds

PickFinder logo

PickFinder Team•Updated:

Maja Chwalinska has beaten the closing tennis odds by the most on the WTA tour over the last 52 weeks: 70.3% wins against 51.8% implied, over 37 matches. Sofia Kenin has lagged them the most, 22.9% against 42.2%. Most of this looks like noise: 5 of 104 players sit outside the noise band where chance alone would put about 4.7, and a player's gap in the first 26 weeks correlates 0.13 with the last 26.

How good is the closing price?

Each band is the favorite's no-vig chance at the close. Power de-vig tracks the real win rate. Proportional de-vig, the common shortcut, understates favorites, which would make every heavy favorite look like a market beater. This page uses power.

Using market beaters on a prop

  1. Read the gap

    Maja Chwalinska won 70.3% against 51.8% implied, a gap of +18.4 points over 37 matches. The noise band for that sample is ±14.8, so a gap has to be that big before it stands out at all.

  2. Split favorites and underdogs

    Maja Chwalinska is 13-4 as a favorite and 13-7 as an underdog. Sofia Kenin is 3-6 and 5-21. It shows where a record came from.

  3. Treat it as context for the price

    This explains what has happened, not what comes next. A player's gap correlates 0.13 from one half of the window to the next, across 94 players. Don't read a big gap as a reason to bet.

  4. Start from the close

    Favorites priced at 80% to 90% won 86.5% of 505 matches against 84.6% implied by the power de-vig. The closing price is hard to beat, so treat it as your starting point. Today's line and the hit rate against it are in PickFinder.

How this is counted

Counts finished singles matches with a closing moneyline on both players, Nov 2, 2025 to Nov 2, 2026. 96% of prices are Pinnacle's, and the rest come from another major book. Implied % removes the vig with a power de-vig, because it matches real win rates. The proportional shortcut understates favorites: at 80% to 90% it gives 82.9%, power gives 84.6%, and they actually won 86.5%. Gap is win % minus average implied %. The noise band is two standard deviations of what those prices would produce by chance over that many matches. Beyond noise means the gap is outside it, and with this many players some will be by luck, which is why the page shows the count. Retired matches and walkovers are left out. Tour level means WTA events, the Grand Slams and the Finals, qualifying included. Challenger and WTA 125 matches are left out and have their own view, because they would flatter anyone who plays down a level. Team cups are left out too. A player needs 30+ priced matches.

Market beaters FAQ

Who has beaten the market the most on the WTA tour?

Maja Chwalinska: 70.3% wins against 51.8% implied over 37 matches, a gap of +18.4 points with a noise band of ±14.8.

Who has been most overrated on the WTA tour?

Sofia Kenin: 22.9% wins against 42.2% implied over 35 matches, a gap of -19.4 points.

Does beating the market carry over?

Not much. A player's gap in the first 26 weeks correlates 0.13 with the last 26 across 94 players. 5 of 104 players sit outside the noise band, and chance alone would put about 4.7 there.

Are closing tennis odds accurate?

Close to it, after a power de-vig. Favorites priced at 80% to 90% won 86.5% of 505 matches against 84.6% implied.

Why not use the simple proportional de-vig?

It understates favorites. At 80% to 90% it gives 82.9% against a real win rate of 86.5%, which would make every heavy favorite look like a market beater.
