Tennis match winner: what the price covers

A match-winner price concerns the winner of the specified match, subject to the operator’s completion rules.

Compare like with like

Check singles versus doubles, tournament stage and player identity before comparing two numbers. A similarly named player or an exhibition listing is not automatically the same event.

Probability is a calculation

At decimal odds of 1.80, the inverse price is 55.56%. This is a price-based quantity before margin, not an independently verified chance of victory. In a complete two-outcome market, add both inverse prices before interpreting the margin.

An interrupted match

An official winner after retirement does not establish settlement for every bookmaker. Some contracts distinguish a completed match from a match that has started. Read the specific rule rather than extrapolating from a previous bet.
