S. Tsitsipas vs A. Kovacevic — prediction

The model makes S. Tsitsipas the favorite with a 70% win probability, against A. Kovacevic's 30% — a solid favorite, though Kovacevic keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.43; the offered odds are around @1.38 (a 72% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #53 vs #89 (better ranked); 7/10 in recent matches; 1-0 in favor; 62% 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 ~65% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 30 out of every 100 times Kovacevic 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.
