The model makes Alexander Zverev the favorite with a 86% win probability, against Luciano Darderi's 14% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.16; the offered odds are around @1.12 (a 89% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #2 vs #22 (better ranked); 1-1 even; 69% career on the surface; 7/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 86%, 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 14 out of every 100 times Darderi 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.
