   Winning a lot but bracket is 1380-1690 clay journeymen.

FATIGUE (decisive)
  A: 2 matches/14d, 340 min court time, rested since 07-17.
  B: 6 matches/14d, 18 sets, 879 min, back-to-back 2, played YESTERDAY.
  Court-time diff 539 min (>>60) — B severely disadvantaged. GRIND + heavy schedule.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: B won Milan (challenger) Final 07-05, 16d ago → none.
  Title recency: B Milan clay 16d ago (weak field).
  Venue: neither has Kitzbuhel history.

ALT MARKETS
  Total 23.5: model Under 0.602 vs Betfair Under 1.91 (comm-adj edge ~6.6%).
  But BOTH players are game-heavy tiebreak producers (Bublik serve, DDA grinds long
  3-setters) → qualitative pushes OVER, contradicting the model's under lean. No trust.
  Handicap: model null, no independent margin read.

VERDICT — PASS
  The one strong model signal (B ML +15.7%) is directly contradicted by extreme B
  fatigue: 879 min in 14d, played yesterday, and Bublik is fresh + far higher pedigree.
  The model can't see the empty tank; a skeptic passes. Total-under edge undermined by
  both players' game-heavy style. No market has model edge AND qualitative validation.
