The model makes Carlos Alcaraz the favorite with a 89% win probability, against Denis Shapovalov's 11% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.13; the offered odds are around @1.15 (a 87% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #3 vs #46 (better ranked); 2-0 in favor; 78% career on the surface; 8/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 89%, 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 11 out of every 100 times Shapovalov 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.
