The model makes Karen Khachanov the favorite with a 55% win probability, against Alexander Blockx's 45% — a tight match, without a wide margin. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.82; the offered odds are around @1.63 (a 61% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #50 vs #34; 4/10 in recent matches; model 55% vs market 61% → the model sees it as less likely than the odds.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 55%, 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 45 out of every 100 times Blockx 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.
