Light wind: no noticeable effect.
Surface feeds the model (surface specialization is one of its factors). Weather and altitude are context we publish for you — they do NOT move the probability.

The model makes V. Vacherot the favorite with a 68% win probability, against S. Baez's 32% — a solid favorite, though Baez keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.47; the offered odds are around @1.37 (a 73% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #14 vs #53 (better ranked); performs +7% above baseline (61% career on the surface); 5/10 in recent matches; 4 matches in the last 2 weeks.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 68%, 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 32 out of every 100 times Baez 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.
