Several factors could shift odds significantly before the match. Injury announcements or player withdrawals would immediately reprrice the market. Recent tournament performance, head-to-head records, and court surface preference (hard court favors certain playing styles) all influence trader sentiment.

Additionally, late-breaking form updates or betting patterns from sharp money can cause rapid probability swings as traders react to new information.
