The Australian Open through a value lens

Hard courts and Melbourne's heat shape the tournament as much as the draw does: a long five-set match in extreme heat can leave a player depleted for the next round, and scheduling, who plays during the day heat versus under the roof at night, can be a genuine factor. The home crowd and conditions also give a real, if hard-to-quantify, boost to Australian players deep into their home Slam.

Early rounds again carry value: seeded players carrying niggling injuries from the pre-season are common in January, and the market doesn't always price that fatigue accurately until it shows up on court.
