═══ A. Korneeva (A) vs M. Stoiana (B) — Toronto, hard, FINAL ═══
MODELS vs MARKET
ELO A 72.5% | ML A 70.0% | blended model A 65.0%
Book odds A 1.50 (impl 66.7%) / B 2.50 (impl 40%); devigged A 62.5%
value_pick A, value_edge +2.5% — thin. betfair_ml NULL (no exchange price).
Blended model (65%) sits essentially ON market (62.5–66.7%). Only ELO (72.5%)
pushes a gap, and Korneeva's ELO is a 17yo rating inflated by junior-slam wins
over 1500–1800 fields — low trust, discount it (ELO 72.5% vs rank 174).
RECENT FORM (last 5 shown)
A (Korneeva, 17, rank 174): last match 07-18 Athens quali — L SF vs Sakkari
(1838) 6-1 7-5; W QF vs Valentova (1834); W vs A.Li (1500) 6-2 6-2 DOM;
W vs Ito (1500). Elite junior on the rise (French Open + Wimbledon junior
titles in window). Shape STABLE-to-SHARPENING but 14-DAY LAYOFF = rust risk;
no Toronto path shown in data.
B (Stoiana, 23, rank 223): 07-28 Memphis quali L vs Stearns (1500) 7-6 0-6 4-6;
07-24 Evansville W100 L vs Ku; 07-23 W vs Pareja; 07-22 W vs Rogers 6-1 6-1.
Lost 2 of last 3, grinding weak-field W100/quali. Shape FADING.
PATH / DATA GAP
Neither player's Toronto-final run appears in the 90d window (A last=07-18,
B last=07-28). Path/shape at THIS venue is unreadable — a material blind spot
for a FINAL. Cannot confirm match-sharpness at the event either way.
FATIGUE (Step 2)
B: matches_14d 4, court 333min, back_to_back 2, last match 07-28 (4d ago).
Heavy cumulative load = CONTEXT only, no extreme spot (last match not yesterday,
and it was a LOSS — no 3-set-hangover haircut). A: rested (0 in 7d) but rusty.
Net: roughly equal, no fatigue edge to stake.
NARRATIVE
No let-down (no recent Final win/loss inside trigger window for either at venue).
Surface: both on hard now; A's last was hard (Athens), B's last hard (Memphis) —
no transition penalty.
GATES
G1 edge-origin: FAIL — blended model (65%) is at market; only low-trust ELO
manufactures a gap, and it misses the 8% book-priced bar (no exchange price).
Stripping narrative leaves no numeric edge ≥ bar.
G2 consensus: stake-tier only — models cluster with market (no dispersion edge).
G3 fatal-risk: n/a (ML, no margin bet); would not rescue a failed G1.
PRICING
No betfair_ml → ML needs edge ≥ 8% vs book (rule #4). Best case ELO 5.8% vs 1.50,
blended NEGATIVE (0.65 < 0.667). Bar not met.
VERDICT: PASS. Models sit on the market, the only gap comes from a low-trust
junior ELO, there is no exchange price to execute against, and the venue path is
a data blind spot. No stakeable edge. alt_markets: none at analysis time.
