RECENT FORM (5 most recent shown)
McAdoo (A) — history ends 2026-05-27 (7+ weeks stale):
05-27 W75 Kursumlijska Banja L vs Zaar (1581, Avg) 2-6 2-6
05-21 W50 Portoroz L vs Struplova (1588, Avg) 5-7 3-6
05-20 W50 Portoroz W vs Zeltina (1436, Weak) 6-4 6-4 (DOM)
04-22 W75 Chiasso L vs Pigato (1699, Strong) 4-6 3-6
Record 1-3, lone win DOM vs Weak. NOTE: she is in the Palermo SF, so current-week
wins are missing from the feed — the "layoff" read is a data gap, not real inactivity.
Shinikova (B):
07-14 Istanbul 2 L vs Shubladze (1500, Avg) 7-5 7.6-6.4 (GRIND, TB)
07-13 Istanbul 2 Q-Final W vs Huang (1500, Avg) 6-4 6-2 (DOM)
07-12 Istanbul 2 Q-SF W vs Turkmen (1500, Avg) 6-0 6-1 (DOM)
06-11 W75 Ceska Lipa L vs Curmi (1581, Avg)
06-11 W75 Ceska Lipa W vs Vozniak (1000, Weak)
Mixed 3-2 recent with two DOM wins vs Avg quali fields, but May-June shows losses
to Weak opponents (1356, 1245). Palermo run also missing from feed.
FATIGUE
A: 0 matches / 0 min in 14d per feed (stale data — unreliable).
B: 3 matches, 9 sets, 212 min, 2 back-to-back days; last match 07-14 (4d rest).
Verdict: nominal edge A, but both players' actual Palermo matches this week are
uncounted — fatigue comparison is not trustworthy.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: B won Istanbul 2 quali Final 07-13 then lost next day — already burned; none live.
Venue: no Palermo history in feed for either.
Title recency: none (quali final only).
VERDICT: PASS
Model edge is only +2.2% on A — below the bet bar on its own. ELO's 60% A lean is not
validated by ML (52%) or by the market (coinflip). Both players' current tournament
matches are absent from history, so form, fatigue and momentum reads are built on stale
or incomplete data. No alt markets priced. Nothing here beats an efficient even-money line.
