A. Li vs S. Zhang — prediction
Consistent bounce, medium-fast: neutral conditions, no style favored.
Strong heat: warm air speeds the ball up and physical wear tells in long matches.
Humid air: the ball loses some speed.
Light wind: no noticeable effect.

The model makes A. Li the favorite with a 55% win probability, against S. Zhang's 45% — a tight match, without a wide margin. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.80; the offered odds are around @1.67 (a 60% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #29 vs #54 (better ranked); 4/10 in recent matches; 3-0 in favor.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 55%, 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 45 out of every 100 times Zhang 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.
