Full analysis

Xin. Wang (A, #33, 24) vs D. Kasatkina (B, #66, 29) — Toronto R1 (1/64), hard.

MODELS vs MARKET
  ELO: A 0.463 (B 0.537) | ML: A 0.599 | model 0.463
  Betfair: A 2.02 / B 1.88 | Pinnacle no-vig A 0.483 (B ~0.517)
  Book odds_a=odds_b=1.83 is a stale/placeholder (identical) — ignored.
  Read: ELO AGREES with the sharp market — both make Kasatkina (B) a slight
  favorite ~52-54%. ML (A 0.599) is the LONE outlier, ranking-driven (Wang #33
  vs Kasatkina #66); ELO already prices Kasatkina above rank.

RECENT FORM (last 5)
  Wang (A): 07-29 LOST Samsonova 2-6 2-6 (hard, blown out); 07-28 W Pareja;
    grass season prior. Shape FADING — destroyed in last match, no over-perf.
  Kasatkina (B): 07-26 WON Washington FINAL vs Smith 4-6 6-4 6-0 (hard TITLE);
    07-25 W Bolkvadze (3set); 07-28 L Kalinskaya (post-title). TITLE: Washington
    ~7d ago on HARD — live on-surface form strong, match-sharp, deep run.
  Path: Kasatkina 3 matches deep + a hard title; Wang 2 matches, one a bad loss.
  Match-sharp + on-surface title beats a fresh, blown-out favourite-by-rank.

FATIGUE (Step 2)
  Both last played ~4-5d ago (Wang 07-29, Kasatkina 07-28) — no extreme spot.
  Cumulative-minutes gap (Kasatkina 272 vs Wang 143) is CONTEXT only, no edge.
  Roughly equal; no haircut warranted (no 3-set win yesterday for either).

NARRATIVE
  TITLE: Kasatkina Washington ~7d ago (hard) — supports her, live form > rank.
  No letdown spot vs this match. No surface transition (both hard now).
  ELO/ranking: Kasatkina ELO-fav despite worse rank — credible (title + results).

MARKET CHOICE
  ML: edge test — B 1.88 adj 1.836, implied 0.545; my B est ~0.53-0.54 → no edge.
    A 2.02 adj 1.969, implied 0.508; ELO A 0.463 → negative. ML's 0.599 is the
    only path to an A edge, and the qualitative read REFUTES it, not confirms it.
  Handicap: A covers 0.528 @1.95 (adj implied 0.526) → ~0.3% edge, none.
  Total 21.5: under 0.518 @1.96 (adj implied 0.523) → negative. No edge.
  AH: A -0.5 @1.95 / B +0.5 @1.94 — coin-flip, pass.
  alt_markets present; all near coin-flip, none clears the 5% bar.

GATES
  G1 edge-origin: FAIL — only ML produces an A edge (~9%), but ELO+sharp market
    agree against it and path/shape refutes the ML outlier. No validated numeric
    edge on either side before narrative.
  G2 consensus:   stake-tier moot — no bet.
  G3 fatal-risk:  n/a — no margin bet.

VERDICT: PASS. ELO + sharp market consensus on Kasatkina as slight favorite;
ML is the lone ranking-driven outlier and the qualitative read (Kasatkina's
hard-court title + match-sharpness vs Wang's blowout loss) goes against it, not
with it. Alt markets all efficient/coin-flip. No edge to stake.
