Market context

Sara Bejlek, the Czech qualifier, faces former world number one Karolina Pliskova in the opening round of the Nottingham Open on 16 June 2026. Bejlek, ranked outside the top 100, enters as a significant underdog against Pliskova, who has maintained a top-50 ranking despite recent injury setbacks. The match forms part of the grass-court season warm-up circuit ahead of Wimbledon, where surface-specific form carries outsized predictive weight.

The 100% implied probability reflects Pliskova's career pedigree and recent Nottingham results rather than any certainty of outcome. Pliskova has reached the Nottingham semi-finals twice (2015, 2019) and holds a 2–0 head-to-head record against Bejlek from lower-tier events. However, grass-court tournaments frequently produce upsets; qualifiers have eliminated seeded players in 31% of opening-round matches at Nottingham over the past five years. Bejlek's path through qualifying demonstrates sufficient baseline consistency to trouble a player managing fitness concerns.

Traders should monitor official draw confirmation and injury updates through the WTA website before settlement on 23 June. Pliskova's recent tournament schedule—she competed at Roland Garros just days before Nottingham—may affect her preparation depth. Withdrawal or retirement mid-match triggers the 50-50 resolution clause, a material risk given the compressed grass-court calendar. Liquidity depth on this market depends on deposit flows; SEPA transfers and Klarna instalments typically clear within 24 hours, allowing late-window position adjustments as match conditions become clearer.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
