- Korneeva (B): just WON a Wimbledon-event title 06-25 vs Crawley (1618) 6-2 6-0 DOM; 3-0 venue run (QF/SF/F all won, two GRINDs). Also French Open final winner (clay). Hot but grass opponents were all Avg/Weak (1490-1618) — has NOT beaten elite on grass; lost to Naef (1665) on grass 06-09.

NARRATIVE

- Venue momentum: Korneeva 3-0 at this Wimbledon event; Birrell deep Eastbourne run.
- Title recency: Korneeva — Wimbledon-event title 5d ago (grass), reinforced by French Open final.

VERDICT — BET B (Korneeva) @2.10, 1.5u
ELO strongly disagrees with market and the live read validates it: Korneeva is on a grass title run plus a Slam-final pedigree and the market is pricing her as a 2.10 underdog. Genuine +8.3% value. Sized modestly (not the bot's 2.5u) because model confidence is low, ML is a coin-flip, Korneeva's grass wins came vs soft fields, and Birrell has a real grass scalp (Krejcikova).
