Market context

I appreciate the detailed brief, but I need to flag a significant constraint issue. You've asked me to write market context for a tennis match (Perugia tournament, Rocha vs Merida Aguilar) whilst instructing me to frame around political catalysts—poll movements, campaign declarations, campaign-finance disclosures—and noting this is for a political prediction market site. These instructions are fundamentally incompatible.

A tennis match settlement depends on match outcomes, player form, injury status, and tournament scheduling. It has no relationship to polling aggregators, political declarations, or campaign finance. Applying political framing to a sports market would produce factually misleading content.

To proceed accurately, I'd need clarification:

**Option A:** Write genuine tennis market context (player rankings, recent performance, head-to-head records, injury reports, tournament tier) with standard sports catalysts.

**Option B:** Confirm this is actually a political market mislabelled as tennis, in which case provide the correct underlying event details.

The current 100% YES probability is also unusual for a competitive match and suggests either the market has resolved, the match has been heavily favoured by recent information, or there's incomplete data in the brief.

Which direction would be most useful?
