Consensus, vig removed: 84.4%. The market has Sofia Kenin at 87%. The market is 2.6 points above the books, so you pay a little over fair. Still the right side.
Line move since our first snapshot: Sofia Kenin 84.1% to 84.4%. No meaningful move.
- Why Venus Williams is priced where it is (14%):
- Venus Williams is 0-11 in 2026 and hasn't won a US Open match since 2019.
- She has lost 10 consecutive matches, per a 2026 Madrid report.
- Her age and extended absence from competitive singles make a win highly unlikely.
📐 What would change this call: if the market drops Sofia Kenin 5+ points under the books it becomes a HIGH-confidence discount. If the top books split by more than 5 points, or a starter is scratched, it goes to HOLD.

📈 Where the Market Stands
| Option | Market | Book Consensus | Gap | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sofia Kenin | 87% | 84.4% | +2.6 pts | ⚪ FAIR PRICE |
| Venus Williams | 14% | 15.6% | -1.6 pts | ⚪ FAIR PRICE |
Gap is market minus book consensus. Negative means the market is cheaper than the books, that is the discount we look for. 5 or more points cheaper is where the edge lives. 5 or more points over is overpaying.
