J. Pegula vs A. Anisimova — prediction
Consistent bounce, medium-fast: neutral conditions, no style favored.

›Ranking: #3 vs #10 (better ranked)
›Recent form: 7/10 in recent matches
›Head-to-head: 5-0 in favor

›Model 70% vs market 56% → the model sees it as MORE likely than the odds
The model makes J. Pegula the favorite with a 70% win probability, against A. Anisimova's 30% — a solid favorite, though Anisimova keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.42; the offered odds are around @1.79 (a 56% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #3 vs #10 (better ranked); 7/10 in recent matches; 5-0 in favor; 72% career on the surface.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 70%, 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 30 out of every 100 times Anisimova 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.
