═══ B. Bencic vs C. Gauff — Wimbledon 1/8-finals (grass) ═══

MODELS
  ELO      0.691 A  (strong Bencic lean)
  ML       0.452 A  (market-anchored, sides Gauff)
  Blend    0.523 A
  Market   0.430 A  (Bencic 2.20 / Gauff 1.66)
  Value    +9.3% edge on A (Bencic)

FORM — BENCIC (A): 3-0 at Wimbledon
  W Kalinskaya (1723 Strong) 6-4 4-6 7-6  GRIND (Rome revenge)
  W Xin Wang   (1827 Strong) 7-5 6-0       DOM vs Strong  <-- real edge
  W Stojsavlj. (1412 Weak)   6-2 6-1       DOM vs Weak
  Former Olympic champ; grass is a strong relative surface.

FORM — GAUFF (B): 3-0 but grinding
  W Liu    (1688 Strong) 3-6 7-6 2-6*  GRIND / tiebreak escape
  W Sierra (1657 Avg)    3-6 6-3 7-6   GRIND / tiebreak escape
  W Korpat.(1332 Weak)   6-2 6-1       DOM vs Weak
  Lost grass warmup (Berlin) to Badosa. Marquee results (Rome final,
  wins over 1900+ elites) are ALL clay — grass her weaker surface.

FATIGUE
  Bencic 3 matches/14d, ~212 min court time
  Gauff  3 matches/14d, ~244 min court time (two 3-set grinds)
  Both 2 days rest. Slight edge Bencic (less wear) — within noise.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none live (Gauff's last Final = Rome ~50d ago, lost).
  No title recency for either.

VERDICT — BET A (Bencic) 2.0u @ 2.20
  ELO (+26pt vs market) is validated by the tape: Bencic DOM'd a Strong
  opponent on grass while Gauff is scraping 3-set tiebreaks on her worst
  surface. Market prices Gauff on ranking/reputation; the grass form gap
  is the edge. ML sides with market but it is market-anchored by design.
  Sized down from bot's 2.5u for Gauff's proven clutch (wins ugly).
