Alexander Zverev vs Lorenzo Sonego — prediction
Consistent bounce, medium-fast: neutral conditions, no style favored.
Warm: the ball flies a little more and fitness counts.
Very humid air: the ball gets heavy and points stretch out.
Light wind: no noticeable effect.
Surface feeds the model (surface specialization is one of its factors). Weather and altitude are context we publish for you — they do NOT move the probability.

The model makes Alexander Zverev the favorite with a 90% win probability, against Lorenzo Sonego's 10% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.11; the offered odds are around @1.06 (a 94% implied), slightly below the market, so the model is a touch more cautious.
Several factors explain the number: #2 vs #89 (better ranked); 5-0 in favor; 69% career on the surface; 7/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 90%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~65% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 10 out of every 100 times Sonego 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.
