═══ M. Damm (A) vs S. Tsitsipas (B) — ATP Montreal, 1/64-finals, hard ═══

MODELS vs MARKET (Damm perspective)
  ELO   0.391  |  ML  0.300  |  model 0.391
  Book odds_a 2.62 (imp 0.364) | Betfair 2.56 | Pinnacle no-vig 0.342
  Tsitsipas: book 1.50 / Betfair 1.45
  ELO ~= market; ML below market; sharp Pinnacle (0.342) below Betfair (0.391).
  ELO/ranking divergence: Damm rank 115 yet ELO-competitive (39%). His hard run
  (Coppejans 1578, Shelbayh 1610, Rocha 1632) is all sub-1650 fields; his one
  Elite test (Shelton 1940) was a loss. ELO likely modestly farmed on weak fields
  -> discount the ELO edge toward ML/Pinnacle (~0.34).

PATH & FATIGUE
  Both played (and won) a FINAL yesterday 08-01, both 2-set wins (Damm 6-3 7-6;
  Tsitsipas 6-3 6-4) — no 3-set hangover applies to either (2-set = ~neutral).
  Damm heavier cumulative load (474min/4 matches_14d vs 403/3) but age 22,
  recovers fast -> softened; cumulative minutes are context, not edge. Both
  match-sharp on hard. Fatigue = roughly equal, no extreme spot. No surface
  transition risk (both last played hard).

NARRATIVE
  No let-down: neither is 0-2d off a FIRST final; both are seasoned final winners.
  Venue: main-draw R1, no venue edge either way.

PRICING
  Damm Betfair 2.56 -> comm-adj 2.482 (imp 0.403). My prob ~0.35 (ELO discounted
  toward ML/Pinnacle). Edge 0.35-0.403 = NEGATIVE. Min odds 1.05/0.35 = 3.00 >
  2.56 -> auto-PASS.
  Tsitsipas Betfair 1.45 -> comm-adj 1.4275 (imp 0.700). My prob ~0.65.
  Edge NEGATIVE. Min odds 1.05/0.65 = 1.62 > 1.45 -> auto-PASS.
  alt_markets: none at analysis time (handicap/totals null).

GATES
  G1 edge-origin: FAIL — no positive numeric edge on either side vs executable
     Betfair price; ELO edge on Damm evaporates once weak-field farming discounted
     and is negative against commission-adjusted odds anyway.
  G2 consensus:   stake-tier — models split (ELO=market, ML/Pinnacle below); n/a, no bet.
  G3 fatal-risk:  n/a (ML only; no margin bet).

VERDICT: PASS. Market efficient; sharp Pinnacle (0.342) sits below the exchange
  price on Damm, no side clears its min-odds bar, and the lone ELO tick toward
  Damm is a farmed-rating artifact, not an edge.
