The model makes J. Pegula the favorite with a 76% win probability, against E. Navarro's 24% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.32; the offered odds are around @1.18 (a 85% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #3 vs #28 (better ranked); 3-0 in favor; 72% career on the surface; model 76% vs market 85% → the model sees it as less likely than the odds.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 76%, 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 24 out of every 100 times Navarro 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.
