The model makes Karen Khachanov the favorite with a 61% win probability, against Alex Molcan's 39% — a solid favorite, though Molcan keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.64; the offered odds are around @1.27 (a 79% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #26 vs #96 (better ranked); 0-1 against; model 61% vs market 79% → the model sees it as less likely than the odds; 5/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 61%, 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 39 out of every 100 times Molcan 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. Watch out for: Unfavorable head-to-head record (0-1).
