A. Zverev vs C. Norrie — 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. Zverev the favorite with a 83% win probability, against C. Norrie's 17% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.21; the offered odds are around @1.28 (a 78% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #3 vs #37 (better ranked); 7/10 in recent matches; 6-0 in favor; 69% career on the surface.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 83%, 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 17 out of every 100 times Norrie 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.
