›Tour Elo: 1729 vs 1618 — favorite by rating
›ATP qualifying / early round · 312 matches in the favorite's track record
›Elo estimate (not the ATP factor model): qualifying draws have no clean main-tour history
!Qualifying/soft context: Elo estimate only — read the round context (already-through, lucky loser, dead rubber) from the dossier; it is not a proven edge.
The model makes L. Tu the favorite with a 66% win probability, against Q. Vandecasteele's 34% — a solid favorite, though Vandecasteele keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.53; the offered odds are around @1.87 (a 53% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: 1729 vs 1618 — favorite by rating; atp qualifying / early round · 312 matches in the favorite's track record; qualifying draws have no clean main-tour history.
Read it with caution. This number does NOT come from the ATP factor model, but from the tour's real Elo: it ranks who is the favorite well, but it is a coarser estimate. Being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 34 out of every 100 times Vandecasteele wins. And above all, in Challenger/ITF the value edge is not proven live, so treat it as a reference, not an opportunity.
