The model makes C. Gauff the favorite with a 64% win probability, against B. Bencic's 36% — a solid favorite, though Bencic keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.56; the offered odds are around @1.61 (a 62% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #4 vs #14 (better ranked); 6-2 in favor; 71% career on the surface; 8/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 64%, 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 36 out of every 100 times Bencic 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.
