A. Eala (21, rank 42) vs E. Svitolina (31, rank 13) — Washington, hard. RE-CHECK of earlier LEAN with fresh Betfair prices. MODELS (violent split, reconciled) ELO: Eala 26.3% | ML: Eala 71.3% | Sim (point-by-point): Eala 37.95% / Svitolina 62.05% The sim AGREES with ELO and the market (~60% Svitolina). ML is the LONE outlier — classic recent-form overfit on Eala's grass tear. ELO also ~= ranking (42 vs 13), so ELO is credible here; ML is the one to distrust. Exchange (Betfair) ML: Eala 2.42 / Svitolina 1.69 -> devig Eala ~41% / Svitolina ~59%. Market sits between ELO and ML, right on the sim. RECENT FORM Eala: match-sharp, 2 Washington wins on THIS hard surface — d.Fernandez(1817) 6-2 7-6 GRIND, d.Zheng(1920 Elite) 4-6 6-4 6-1. Monster grass swing prior (d.Swiatek 1965, d.Rybakina 1838). SHARPENING. Grass->hard transition but already 2 hard matches in. Svitolina: 1 Washington match, d.Kudermetova(1676) 7-6 4-6-style 2-set GRIND. Came in RUSTY — month off (last pre-Wash match 06-30, poor grass swing: L Snigur 1648, walkover exit). Rome TITLE 05-16 on clay (career-best clay run). STABLE-to-rusty. H2H: Eala beat Svitolina 3-6 4-6 (straight) at Berlin 06-19 — but on GRASS. This is hard, Svitolina's home surface. FATIGUE (Step 2 calibration) Eala last played 07-29 (2-set win), 2-3d rest. Svitolina last 07-31 (2-set, 87min), no 3-set hangover. Both roughly rested — cumulative load is context only, no extreme spot. No haircut applies. NARRATIVE / PATH Eala match-sharp + SHARPENING + won recent H2H = genuine underrating story... BUT the market has ALREADY priced it: Eala 41% (exchange) vs 26% (ELO). Market discounted Svitolina from ELO's 74% down to 59% for exactly Eala's form/H2H/rust — it is smart here, not slow. GATES G1 edge-origin: FAIL — no market clears 5% at executable price. Svitolina ML +1.6%, Under +3.6%, Svitolina -2.5 +0.5%, Eala ML negative. No numeric edge exists pre-narrative. G2 consensus: stake-tier note — sim+ELO+market consensus on Svitolina ~60%; ML lone outlier. Consensus efficient. G3 fatal-risk: n/a (no candidate bet) MARKET CHOICE (all vs commission-adjusted Betfair) Svitolina ML 1.69 -> comm-adj implied 0.604; sim 0.6205 -> +1.6% (below bar) Eala ML 2.42 -> comm-adj implied 0.426; sim 0.3795 -> NEGATIVE Svitolina -2.5 @2.04 -> comm-adj 0.503; sim covers 0.508 -> +0.5% Eala +2.5 @1.88 -> comm-adj 0.545; sim 0.492 -> NEGATIVE Under 22.0 @1.97 -> comm-adj 0.520; sim ~0.556 -> +3.6% (below bar) Over 22.0 @1.99 -> negative AH: not staking (no dog ML >=3.0) refutation_check: n/a (PASS gets no web access) VERDICT: PASS. The three credible reads (sim, ELO, market) cluster on Svitolina ~60%; ML's 71% Eala is an isolated overfit. The exchange price sits directly on the point-simulation, and every executable market — ML, handicap, totals — falls short of the 5% edge bar. Eala's real form/H2H/rust edge is already in the 41% exchange price. Nothing to stake. Fresh prices confirm the earlier LEAN never firmed into value.
