═══ A. Ibragimova vs P. Badosa — WTA Iasi 1/8-finals (clay) ═══

MODELS
  Odds: A 7.40 / B 1.08 (implied A 12.7%)
  ELO 18.8% | ML 17.1% | Model 23.9% → value flag on A (+11.2 pts)
  Alignment: all three models above market on A, but at 7.40 this is classic longshot-shading territory; needs qualitative validation.

RECENT FORM
  Ibragimova (ITF level, all clay):
    07-14 Iasi 1/16 W vs Salkova (1573, Avg) 6-2 7-5 — mid
    07-13 Iasi Q-Final W vs Lepchenko (1598, Avg) 6-3 6-4 — qualifying final, not a title
    07-12 Iasi Q-SF W vs Kozyreva (1276, Weak) 6-2 6-0 — DOM vs Weak
    06-20 W75 Blois F L vs Curmi (1623, Strong)
    06-19 W75 Blois SF W vs Nguyen Tan (1496, Avg)
    Pattern across 21 matches: beats Weak/Avg, loses to every Strong-tier opponent faced (Curmi 1623, Burel 1611, Radivojevic 1637, Kawa 1675). Zero wins vs Strong/Elite.
  Badosa:
    07-14 Iasi 1/16 W vs Kalinina (1838, ELITE) 6-3 6-1 — DOM vs Elite
    07-11 Bastad F W vs Waltert (1774, Strong) 7-5 7-5 — TITLE
    07-10 Bastad SF W vs Putintseva (1757, Strong) 6-1 6-2 — DOM
    07-09 Bastad QF W vs Lepchenko (1600) 7-5 7-6 — GRIND (TB)
    07-08 Bastad 1/8 W vs Arango (1577) 6-3 6-2
    7-match win streak on clay, 4 of last 6 wins vs Strong/Elite, 2 DOM vs Strong/Elite.

FATIGUE
  Ibragimova: 3 matches/14d, 9 sets, 240 min, b2b x2, last 07-14
  Badosa: 6 matches/14d, 18 sets, 517 min, b2b x3, last 07-14
  Court-time diff 277 min → Badosa heavily loaded, nominal fatigue edge to Ibragimova.

NARRATIVE
  Badosa letdown: won Bastad Final 07-11 → 4d → POSSIBLE window, BUT she already played the first post-title match (07-14) and demolished an Elite opponent 6-3 6-1. Letdown thesis empirically dead.
  Ibragimova venue: 3-0 at Iasi — all in qualifying vs Weak/Avg; venue cannot create an edge.
  Title recency (Badosa): Bastad 4d ago (clay) — live form elite on this surface.

VERDICT: PASS
  The model longshot edge on Ibragimova rests on Badosa's workload/letdown, and yesterday's 6-3 6-1 over Kalinina refutes it directly. Ibragimova has never beaten a Strong-tier opponent in the sample and now meets a peak-form Elite. Backing Badosa at 1.08 has no value; backing Ibragimova at 7.40 is a class-gap trap. alt_markets null → no handicap/total available to express a margin view. No bet.
