A. Rublev vs O. Virtanen — prediction

Very humid air: the ball gets heavy and points stretch out.
Light wind: no noticeable effect.

The model makes A. Rublev the favorite with a 74% win probability, against O. Virtanen's 26% — a solid favorite, though Virtanen keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.35; the offered odds are around @1.20 (a 83% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #24 vs #109 (better ranked); 62% career on the surface; model 74% vs market 83% → the model sees it as less likely than the odds; 7/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 74%, 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 26 out of every 100 times Virtanen 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.
