The model makes R. Jodar the favorite with a 68% win probability, against D. Shapovalov's 32% — a solid favorite, though Shapovalov keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.46; the offered odds are around @1.43 (a 70% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #11 vs #48 (better ranked); 8/10 in recent matches; 0-1 against; 62% career on the surface.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 68%, 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 32 out of every 100 times Shapovalov 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. Watch out for: Unfavorable head-to-head record (0-1).
