The model makes I. Swiatek the favorite with a 51% win probability, against E. Svitolina's 49% — a tight match, without a wide margin. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.97; the offered odds are around @1.40 (a 71% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #8 vs #9 (better ranked); 4-3 in favor; 78% career on the surface; model 51% vs market 71% → the model sees it as less likely than the odds.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 51%, 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 49 out of every 100 times Svitolina 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.
