The model makes M. Sakkari the favorite with a 67% win probability, against K. Rakhimova's 33% — a solid favorite, though Rakhimova keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.48; the offered odds are around @1.54 (a 65% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #32 vs #83 (better ranked); 7/10 in recent matches; 3-0 in favor.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 67%, 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 33 out of every 100 times Rakhimova 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.
