Full analysis

MATCH: I. Begu (A) vs K. Swan (B) | Wimbledon, grass, 1/64-finals

MODELS: ELO 51.1% A | ML 68.6% A | model 57.9% A | consensus 61.4% A. Market 1.90/1.90 (50/50). Value pick A, edge +7.9%. ML disagrees sharply with market/ELO.

FORM A (Begu, grass): WON Bad Homburg title def. Parry (1766, Strong) 6-4 7-6 [GRIND]; W vs Korpatsch (1346) 6-1 6-4; W vs V.Williams (1515) 6-2 4-6 7-6 [GRIND]; LOST 1-6 1-6 to Muchova (1625) last out. Also RG SF run on clay. Genuine WTA tour + grass credentials.
FORM B (Swan): Hot but ITF-level — W75 Kurume + W35 Fukuoka titles vs sub-1500 fields. Grass: beat Golubic (1621) 6-4 7-6 & Martincova (1651) 7-5 6-2 at Ilkley, then RETIRED 1-6 in QF (injury flag). No match in 18 days.

FATIGUE: A — 4 matches/14d, 12 sets, court time 273min, last match 06-24 (6d rest). B — 0 matches/14d, idle since 06-12 (18d). Edge: heavy recent load for A but well-rested now; B faces rust + possible injury from retirement.

NARRATIVE: A TITLE Bad Homburg 9d ago (grass) — strong live grass form. No active let-down (played twice after that final). B retirement + long layoff = fitness/rust risk; home Wimbledon crowd a mild offset.

VERDICT: BET A. Opponent-quality gap is decisive — Begu has beaten Strong-tier grass opponents (Parry 1766) while Swan's wins came vs weak ITF fields. ML edge (68.6%) validated by class + Swan's injury/layoff. ELO near-even and Begu's Muchova blowout temper sizing. 1.75u on Begu @1.90.
