A. Potapova vs N. Bartunkova — prediction
Consistent bounce, medium-fast: neutral conditions, no style favored.
Strong heat: warm air speeds the ball up and physical wear tells in long matches.
Very dry air: the ball travels faster.
Some wind: makes baseline control harder.
Moderate altitude: the ball flies a little more than at sea level.

The model makes A. Potapova the favorite with a 56% win probability, against N. Bartunkova's 44% — a tight match, without a wide margin. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.77; the offered odds are around @2.47 (a 40% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #25 vs #38 (better ranked); 1-0 in favor; model 56% vs market 40% → the model sees it as more likely than the odds; 5/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 56%, 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 44 out of every 100 times Bartunkova 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.
