Year-to-year movement shows where the market should update fastest. The favourite conversion at 81.1% and the year table are the primary form anchors for live pricing — not a single career average.

Surface breakdown: where the edge lives

Tournament tier: reliability by event level

Tournament level	Matches	Win rate
ATP 500	89	77.5%
Grand Slam	71	73.2%

Grand Slam and Masters samples matter most for pricing top-20 players; ATP 250/500 volume can inflate or deflate the headline win rate. Cross-check against Jannik Sinner or Andrey Rublev for peer archetypes.

Round-by-round: early rounds vs deep runs

Round	Matches	Win rate
R1	45	84.4%
R2	52	82.7%
R3	35	80.0%
R16	71	73.2%
QF	52	69.2%
SF	36	55.6%
F	20	50.0%

Round curves separate true closers from early-round specialists. Use the drop from early rounds into deeper stages as a fade signal even when the overall win rate looks elite — the same structural idea as Rublev's late-round ceiling.

H2H against elite rivals

Rival	W–L	Win rate
Sinner	4–7	36.4%
Zverev	7–2	77.8%
De Minaur	3–4	42.9%
Alcaraz	2–5	28.6%
Tsitsipas	3–3	50.0%

Elite H2H is the matchup modifier on top of surface form. Prefer rows with multiple meetings; single-sample rivalries are noise.

How our model treats Daniil Medvedev

The ensemble weights surface win-rate history, recent form (last 5 / last 10), and tournament-tier context most heavily for a top-20 profile like this. Favourite/underdog conversion is a strong secondary prior when odds history is dense (here: 237 matches with usable prices). Uncertainty rises when the next match is on clay or in a deep-draw round where Medvedev's historical conversion collapses.
