The model makes E. Svitolina the favorite with a 71% win probability, against T. Valentova's 29% — a solid favorite, though Valentova keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.42; the offered odds are around @1.36 (a 74% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #9 vs #67 (better ranked); 65% career on the surface; 8/10 in recent matches; 2 wins in a row.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 71%, 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 29 out of every 100 times Valentova 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.
