NARRATIVE
Let-down: none live (Kawa lost Wimbledon final 20d ago — expired).
Venue: both 1-0 at Iasi this week; Kawa's win the more emphatic.
Title recency: Kawa — Modena 30d ago on clay.
VERDICT: LEAN B (Kawa)
ELO (+7 on B) and the qualitative read (DOM vs Strong at this venue yesterday, two clay
titles in 10 weeks, 8-2 L10 vs 4-6) both lean Kawa. But the ML model dissents hard the
other way (68.7% A), the market sits at exactly 50/50, and opponent quality > win count
cuts toward Udvardy — Kawa's streaks came at lower-tier events while Udvardy's losses
came vs Strong opposition on her worst surface. Conflicting models + coin-flip pricing =
likely efficient market; residual edge on B is too thin to stake. No alt markets priced.
