The model makes Francisco Cerundolo the favorite with a 64% win probability, against Roman Safiullin's 36% — a solid favorite, though Safiullin keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.56; the offered odds are around @2.00 (a 50% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #20 vs #79 (better ranked); 1-1 even; model 64% vs market 50% → the model sees it as more likely than the odds; 5/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 64%, 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 36 out of every 100 times Safiullin 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.
