›Recent form: 6/10 in recent matches
›Head-to-head: 1-1 even
›Solid on Hard: 62% career on the surface
›Model 64% vs market 50% → the model sees it as MORE likely than the odds
The model makes D. Salkova the favorite with a 64% win probability, against A. Blinkova's 36% — a solid favorite, though Blinkova keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.57; the offered odds are around @2.00 (a 50% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #120 vs #108; 6/10 in recent matches; 1-1 even; 62% career on the surface.
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 Blinkova 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.
