The model makes T. Paul the favorite with a 62% win probability, against H. Hurkacz's 38% — a solid favorite, though Hurkacz keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.60; the offered odds are around @1.55 (a 65% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #24 vs #69 (better ranked); 6/10 in recent matches; 3-2 in favor; 60% career on the surface.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 62%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~65% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 38 out of every 100 times Hurkacz 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.
