The model makes K. Rakhimova the favorite with a 77% win probability, against V. Williams's 23% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.31; the offered odds are around @1.30 (a 77% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #70 vs #471 (better ranked); 4/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 77%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~64% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 23 out of every 100 times Williams wins. The model also tends to agree with the market, so the odds already capture almost all the edge: don't take it as a sure value. Watch out for: Returning from a long layoff (31d) — possible rustiness.
