The model makes M. Sakkari the favorite with a 66% win probability, against R. Montgomery's 34% — a solid favorite, though Montgomery keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.52; the offered odds are around @1.70 (a 59% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #35 vs #187 (better ranked); model 66% vs market 59% → the model sees it as more likely than the odds; 7/10 in recent matches; 14d vs opponent's 4d.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 66%, 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 34 out of every 100 times Montgomery 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.
