@theregonaz Look at the player rankings Wang should have won both sets 2-0.

🇨🇳 Xinyu Wang ML
🇧🇷 Gustavo Heide ML
3 units at -118
My OG followers will remember how much money we have made on Xinyu Wang. In one tournament alone last year we cashed ML tickets of +450, +200, +175, +175, +150. Not seen many players more underrated and more undervalued than her. I'm not going to spend much time talking about her game, what I like about it etc because I have done so many times. Instead, I'm going to talk about a couple of the negatives, at the moment, and why I think they being priced in too much. Now, Xinyu started the year very well but her recent form has been poor. This girl is all about momentum and confidence - she has stretches where she plays to her potential and she has stretches where she brings a very low level to the court. Yesterday, she lost the first set 6-0 but then bounced back to win the next two 6-3 6-0. I think this could be the start of one of her good stretches, and hopefully a good stretch which she is able to sustain and build on. That tournament I mentioned at the start of the tweet? She went into that tournament in bad form and was struggling in the first qualifying match against Talia Gibson. She lost the first set, was playing poor and was thinking of retiring. Her team encouraged her to keep going and she ended up winning the match, and then all the other matches I mentioned and she made the final. During that bad form, she was still the same, extremely talented player - she was just playing with low confidence. But that one match, and the comeback, turned it around and she was able to play at her talent level for the rest of the tournament. I think yesterday's match could be the same. The first set was horrendous but hopefully having come through that has given her a lot of confidence. Because let me be real and I mean no disrespect, Xinyu Wang and Harmony Tan don't belong on the same tennis court. This is like if Qinwen Zheng played Marta Kostyuk - talent gap bigger than Mount Everest. If Xinyu shows up and plays a shocker, then I'll accept the 3 unit loss but this is a price I have to take advantage of. The current market valuation of Xinyu Wang can't get any lower, this is the literally below the floor - this is a great buy low spot. As for Gustavo Heide, he is the better player, has the higher ceiling, has the bigger weapons and has played much better this week. This is a final so there is extra pressure and I don't think Heide is the best at dealing with pressure but I still think this price on him is value and he should be beating Gonzalo Bueno comfortably.
