Trade: Tunis: Gilles Arnaud Bailly vs Harold Mayot

Market context

Gilles Arnaud Bailly and Harold Mayot are scheduled to meet in the Tunis tournament on 11 May 2026. The current order book on Polymarket reflects a 53% implied probability for Bailly's advancement, suggesting near-parity between the two players with a marginal lean towards the Frenchman. The settlement window closes on 18 May, allowing a seven-day window for the match to conclude; any cancellation, tie, or delay beyond that period triggers a 50-50 resolution.

Both players operate at the lower-to-mid tier of professional tennis, competing primarily on the ATP Challenger circuit. Bailly, ranked outside the top 200 for most of 2025, has shown inconsistent results on clay surfaces, whilst Mayot similarly competes at Challenger level with limited ATP main draw exposure. Historical matchups between players at this ranking stratum typically reflect relatively tight probabilities unless one player demonstrates a clear surface preference or recent form advantage. The current 53-47 split suggests the market has identified marginal factors favouring Bailly without establishing decisive separation.

Traders should monitor tournament draw confirmations and any late withdrawals, as Challenger events occasionally experience roster changes. Injury reports and recent match results from both players in the weeks preceding 11 May will provide concrete form data; Bailly's clay-court record and Mayot's performance on the Tunis surface specifically merit attention. Weather conditions in Tunisia during May could influence play, though the scheduled early morning time slot (5:00 AM ET) may affect broadcast availability and liquidity patterns on the order book.

How active is this market?

$5K in lifetime turnover and $19K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for tennis contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.

Last 24 hours alone saw $5K in turnover, well above the lifetime daily-average for this market — a clear sign of news catalysing trader activity right now.

The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.

Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.

Key terms

YES / NO share

A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

CLOB

Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.

Liquidity

USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.

UMA optimistic oracle

The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.

Slippage

The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.

Conditional token

ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Frequently asked questions

Risk and regulatory note

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
