Several factors could shift odds before the match begins. Injury announcements or withdrawal news involving either player would trigger sharp repricing. Recent tournament results, head-to-head records, and surface preference (clay, hard court, grass) influence trader positioning. Court conditions, weather forecasts, and scheduling delays can also sway sentiment. Betting action from sharp bettors or syndicate activity often precedes major moves. Closer to match time, lineup confirmations, warm-up match results, and pre-match commentary from analysts may prompt traders to adjust their positions, creating volatility in the final hours.
