The model makes F. Cerundolo the favorite with a 65% win probability, against R. Safiullin's 35% — a solid favorite, though Safiullin keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.53; the offered odds are around @1.96 (a 51% 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 65% vs market 51% → the model sees it as more likely than the odds; 7/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 65%, 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 35 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.
