The mathematical model suggests a 4.2% edge on Samsonova, but this is driven entirely by the ELO model which appears to have failed to adjust to her severe 4-11 slump over the last 180 days. The ML model (35.1%) aligns almost perfectly with the market probability (34.1%), indicating the market has correctly priced her struggles. Svitolina's strong 12-3 recent record further highlights the form discrepancy, rendering the underdog value bet too risky.
