The model makes Ben Shelton the favorite with a 68% win probability, against Hubert Hurkacz's 32% — a solid favorite, though Hurkacz keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.48; the offered odds are around @1.45 (a 69% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #9 vs #47 (better ranked); 64% career on the surface; 8/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 68%, 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 32 out of every 100 times Hurkacz 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.
