RECENT FORM (last 5)
Bublik (A):
  07-22 W Diaz Acosta (1796 Strong) 6-3 7-5 — DOM vs Strong, clean clay win
  07-17 L Halys (1727) 7-6 4-6 6-7 — GRIND loss
  07-06 L Fritz (1985 Elite) grass
  07-04 W Tiafoe (1804 Strong) 5-set GRIND, grass
  07-02 W Jacquet (1746) grass
  Clay body-of-work thin (early exits FO/Rome) but sharp today.
Molcan (B):
  07-22 W Altmaier (1752 Strong) 6-3 3-6 7-5 — GRIND (3 sets, today)
  07-21 W Ofner (1712 Strong) 6-4 6-4 — DOM
  07-17 L Dzumhur (1703) 3 sets
  07-16 W Davidovich Fokina (1788 Strong) 3-6 6-1 6-2 — GRIND
  07-15 W Prizmic (1879 Elite) 6-3 6-7 ret — win vs Elite
  Excellent clay run (Umag deep) — but every match a battle.

FATIGUE (decisive):
  Molcan 848 min court / 6 matches 14d / 5 in 7d / 18 sets / 4 CONSECUTIVE match days, played AGAIN today.
  Bublik 317 min / 2 matches 14d / 6 sets / 0 back-to-back.
  531-min gap → Molcan heavily disadvantaged. Exchange 1.41 on A prices this; models do not.

NARRATIVE:
  Molcan title = Mallorca Final 31d ago (grass) — not recent.
  No letdown spot. Kitzbuhel first appearance for both.

VERDICT — PASS
  Model edge on Molcan is real on paper (clay specialist, form) but the qualitative read INVERTS it:
  Molcan is gassed (4 straight match days, 848 min) facing a fresh Bublik who won dominantly today.
  Exchange moving Bublik tighter than book (1.41<1.54) = sharp validation of the fatigue thesis, killing the model's B edge.
  Bublik side: exch 1.41 (eff 1.39), min_odds 1.05/.63=1.67 → priced through, no value.
  Neither side offers executable edge. NO BET.
