The model makes B. Shelton the favorite with a 73% win probability, against S. Tsitsipas's 27% — a solid favorite, though Tsitsipas keeps real chances. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.37; the offered odds are around @1.39 (a 72% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.
Several factors explain the number: #9 vs #53 (better ranked); 0-1 against; 64% career on the surface; 9/10 in recent matches.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 73%, 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 27 out of every 100 times Tsitsipas 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. Watch out for: Unfavorable head-to-head record (0-1).
