The model makes C. Gauff the favorite with a 68% win probability, against M. Sakkari's 32% — a solid favorite, though Sakkari keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.47; the offered odds are around @1.25 (a 80% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #7 vs #37 (better ranked); 5-5 even; 71% career on the surface; model 68% vs market 80% → the model sees it as less likely than the odds.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 68%, 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 32 out of every 100 times Sakkari 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.
