The model makes E. Alexandrova the favorite with a 80% win probability, against A. Blinkova's 20% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.25; the offered odds are around @1.35 (a 74% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #18 vs #111 (better ranked); 7/10 in recent matches; 1-0 in favor; 4 matches in the last 2 weeks.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 80%, 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 20 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.
