The model makes B. Bencic the favorite with a 83% win probability, against A. Zakharova's 17% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.21; the offered odds are around @1.21 (a 83% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #12 vs #110 (better ranked); 67% career on the surface.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 83%, 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 17 out of every 100 times Zakharova 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.
