The model makes P. Badosa the favorite with a 66% win probability, against D. Kasatkina's 34% — a solid favorite, though Kasatkina keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.52; the offered odds are around @1.47 (a 68% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #59 vs #87 (better ranked); 3-3 even; 65% career on the surface; 7/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 66%, 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 34 out of every 100 times Kasatkina 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.
