═══ V. Strakhova vs C. Paquet — WTA Hamburg SF (clay) ═══

MODELS vs MARKET
  Market: A 6.50 (impl 14.6%) | B 1.11 (impl 90.1%)
  ELO: 27.1% A | ML: 26.1% A | Model: 26.4% A → value_pick A, edge +11.8%
  Alignment: BOTH models disagree with market on A — but see data caveat below.

DATA CAVEAT (decisive)
  Neither player's Hamburg run appears in the history feed (Strakhova last recorded
  match 07-06, Paquet 07-15, yet both are in the Hamburg SF). Models and fatigue
  numbers are built on stale pre-tournament data; the 1.11/6.50 market prices
  current-week info we cannot see or validate.

RECENT FORM (pre-Hamburg, last 5 shown)
  Strakhova (2-9 fetched, 7-match losing streak):
    07-06 Bastad L vs Bulgaru (1469 Weak) 6-2 6-2 — blowout loss
    06-29 W35 Amstelveen L vs Kovackova (1569 Avg) 3 sets
    06-17 W50 Haskovo L vs Korokozidi (1456 Weak) GRIND loss (TB)
    06-11 W75 Ceska Lipa L vs Bertea (1550 Avg)
    05-27 W75 Kursumlijska Banja L vs Milovanovic (1206 Weak)
    Wins only vs Weak (1354, 1250). Zero DOM wins vs Avg+.
  Paquet (8-14 fetched, competitive at higher level):
    07-15 W75 Olomouc L vs Ivanov (1459) 3 sets
    07-09 W75 The Hague L vs Karatancheva (1389) 3 sets
    07-07 W75 The Hague W vs Mikulskyte (1473)
    07-02 W50 Stuttgart L vs Gorgodze (1500)
    07-01 W50 Stuttgart W vs Stusek (1500) DOM
    Notables: W vs Joint (1716 Strong) in Paris, W du Pree (1587) GRIND.

FATIGUE (stale — excludes Hamburg matches)
  A: 1 match/14d, 72min, last 07-06 | B: 3 matches/14d, 9 sets, 322min, last 07-15
  Nominal edge A on rest, but both have played 3-4 unrecorded Hamburg matches — unreliable.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: None (Paquet's last Final: Brescia quali, Won, 34d ago — outside window).
  Venue: no Hamburg history for either. Title recency: Paquet Brescia quali title 34d ago (clay, minor).

VERDICT: PASS
  The +11.8% model edge on Strakhova is the textbook stale-input mirage: her visible
  form is a 7-match losing streak with blowout losses to sub-1500 opposition, which
  contradicts rather than validates backing her at 6.50. Whatever carried her to a WTA
  SF this week is invisible to us AND to the models — the 1.11 market has that info,
  we do not. Model-market disagreement without qualitative validation = no bet.
  No alt_markets priced. Predicted winner: C. Paquet.
