RECENT FORM (last 5)
  Jones (A): 08-01 Toronto F W v Lepchenko(1596) 3-set grind; 07-30 Vancouver QF L v
  Sawangkaew(1733) 3-6 2-6; 07-30 Vancouver R16 W v Brengle(1562) GRIND; 07-28 R32 W v
  Zhao(1461) GRIND; 07-22 Evansville L v Akli(1500). Shape STABLE/slightly FADING —
  winning ugly (3-setters) vs Avg/Weak fields, blown out by the one Strong opp. Very heavy
  load (matches_7d=4, 458min), but match-sharp and 18yo (recovers fast).
  Tararudee (B): 08-01 Toronto F W v Q. Zheng(1906, ELITE) 6-3 6-4 DOM — standout; 07-24
  Prague QF L v Snigur(1722, clay) 0-6 3-6; 07-23 R16 W v Bartunkova(1704) grind; 07-21 W v
  Kovackova(1573); 07-19 Istanbul quali F W v Vandewinkel(1773). Shape SHARPENING — DOM over
  an Elite in a hard-court final is a real, current, on-surface signal.

PATH / SHARPNESS
  Both match-sharp; both won a final yesterday at THIS venue. Tararudee's is the stronger
  body of hard-court work (Istanbul quali run + Toronto title path incl. an elite scalp).
  ELO/ranking coherent both sides (B better ranked AND better ELO). No farmed-rating flag.

FATIGUE (Step 2 calibrated)
  Both played 08-01. Jones won a 3-SET final → -4.5pp hangover, but softened for age 18
  (young, recovers fast) → ~slight. Tararudee won a 2-SET final (6-3 6-4) → ~neutral (-2pp).
  Net: fatigue marginally favours B, but cumulative-minutes gap is CONTEXT, not an edge, and
  it cannot rescue a bet that fails the numeric bar.

NARRATIVE
  No let-down trigger flips (both just won finals — LETDOWN would sit on the winner, not
  create dog value here). Surface: both on hard, no transition. Venue: neutral (first
  meeting at this stage). alt_markets: handicap/totals null — ML-only market.

VERDICT — PASS
  Models and the exchange agree B is the favourite; B is overpriced to BACK at 1.52 (edge
  negative on every model) and A clears the 5% bar on none of the three models (best +1.4%,
  ELO/ML underwater). Consensus + no articulable edge the market is slow to price = PASS.
  This is the normal professional outcome; qualitative reads confirm the fav, they do not
  manufacture a price.
