MODELS vs MARKET
  ELO:    A 22.0% / B 78.0%  (lone outlier)
  ML:     A 38.7% / B 61.3%
  Market: A ~37-38% / B ~62-63%  (Betfair 2.66/1.56; Pinnacle no-vig A 0.371)
  ML and the sharp exchange/Pinnacle market agree tightly at ~62% Marozsan. ELO is the sole dissenter at 78%.
  value_pick B (edge 12.4%) is driven ENTIRELY by that ELO outlier.

RECENT FORM (last 5 shown; all fetched used)
  Mochizuki: deep, match-sharp Challenger streak — Won Montreal Final 08-01 (1-6 7-6 6-3 vs Sweeny 1597, 3 sets, YESTERDAY);
    L Vancouver R16 08-01 (Matsuoka 1260); W Vancouver R32 (Broom 1627); L Winnipeg SF (Draxl 1667, 0-6 3-6); W Winnipeg QF.
    Shape STABLE-to-mixed: grinds out weak-field wins, gets run over by mid-1600s ELO opponents (0-6, 3-6 losses). Big rank/level gap to a top-50 opponent unproven.
  Marozsan: last match 07-01 Wimbledon L to Davidovich Fokina. 32 days idle. Shape FADING pre-layoff (L R32 Wimb, L Mallorca SF). Path = RUST RISK (>21d off, first match at venue).

FATIGUE (calibrated)
  Mochizuki: extreme spot — won a 3-SET FINAL yesterday (08-01), back_to_back=3, 7 matches/14d, 767 court-min. Apply 3-set-hangover -4.5pp (hard, surface-agnostic). Age 23 = baseline, no softening.
  Marozsan: fully rested but 32-day layoff = rust, roughly offsets Mochizuki's fatigue for pricing purposes.
  Net: fatigue haircut on A ~ cancels rust drag on B. Neither creates an edge; both are context.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Mochizuki won Montreal (Challenger) title yesterday -> mild LETDOWN risk after a title, but he is also match-sharp. No clean transition (both on hard now; Marozsan's last was grass 32d ago = rust, not live transition).
  No surface transition for A. Venue: no prior main-draw history to amplify.

GATES
  G1 edge-origin: FAIL — the only pre-narrative numeric edge (ELO 78% B vs market 63%) rests on a lone ELO outlier that BOTH ML and the sharp market contradict. On ML (B edge -4.0%) and market (B edge -2.4% at eff 1.532), Marozsan at 1.56 is fair-to-overpriced. No trustworthy numeric edge either side. ELO not qualitatively validated: Mochizuki match-sharp + Marozsan 32d-rusty argue AGAINST ELO's extreme, not for it.
  G2 consensus:   stake-tier only — ML + market consensus at ~62% B, coherent; nothing to stake on.
  G3 fatal-risk:  n/a (ML market only; alt AH/totals null).

PRICING
  B eff odds 1.532 (implied 0.653): ML edge -4.0%, market edge -2.4%. No value.
  A eff odds 2.577 (implied 0.388): ML edge ~0%, market edge -1.7%, ELO edge -16.8%. No value.

VERDICT: PASS. The two most reliable signals (ML + sharp exchange/Pinnacle market) agree the price is efficient (~62% Marozsan). The sole edge is a lone ELO outlier, contradicted by consensus and unsupported by the path/shape read. Backing Marozsan here is the classic manufactured-ELO-edge trap; backing Mochizuki has no numeric support and eats a 3-set-hangover haircut. No bet.
