Tournament tier: reliability by event level

Tournament level	Matches	Win rate
ATP 500	77	58.4%
Grand Slam	41	56.1%
Masters 1000	53	41.5%
ATP 250	25	40.0%

Grand Slam and Masters samples matter most for pricing; ATP 250/500 volume often inflates or deflates the headline win rate. Cross-check against Tommy Paul or Francisco Cerundolo for other ranks-21–50 archetypes.

Round-by-round: early rounds vs deep runs

Round	Matches	Win rate
R1	73	56.2%
R2	38	55.3%
R3	17	11.8%

QF	18	55.6%
SF	10	50.0%
F	5	40.0%

Round curves separate true closers from early-round specialists. Use the drop from early rounds into deeper stages as a fade signal even when the overall win rate looks acceptable — the same structural idea as Rublev's late-round ceiling.

H2H against elite rivals

Rival	W–L	Win rate
Fritz	2–4	33.3%
Giron	2–3	40.0%
De Minaur	0–4	0.0%
Shelton	0–4	0.0%
Carreno-Busta	0–3	0.0%

Elite H2H is sparse for many mid-ranked players; only rows with multiple meetings are shown. Use these as matchup modifiers, not as a substitute for surface form.

Fade Denis Shapovalov when:

How our model treats Denis Shapovalov

The ensemble weights surface win-rate history, recent form (last 5 / last 10), and tournament-tier context most heavily for a rank-21–50 profile like this. Favourite/underdog conversion is a secondary prior when odds history is dense enough (here: 150 matches with usable prices). Uncertainty rises when the next match is on grass or in a deep-draw round where Shapovalov's historical conversion collapses.
