!Returning from a long layoff (43d) — possible rustiness
The model makes F. Auger-Aliassime the favorite with a 68% win probability, against F. Tiafoe's 32% — a solid favorite, though Tiafoe keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.47; the offered odds are around @1.47 (a 68% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #4 vs #23 (better ranked); 7/10 in recent matches; 3-1 in favor; 64% 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 Tiafoe 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: Returning from a long layoff (43d) — possible rustiness.
