B: 3 matches/14d, 9 sets, 339 court-min, back-to-back, last 07-23

NARRATIVE
Let-down: none either side. Venue: both 2-0 this week. Titles: none recent. Transition: none (both on clay).
ELO/rank check: Bublik #11 but clay ELO near coin-flip - rank built off-clay; divergence discounts the FAVOURITE, not the dog. Etcheverry #57 beating 1830-ELO opposition on his best surface.
PRICING
B ML Betfair 2.70 -> effective 2.615 -> implied 38.2%
My P(B) = 0.46 (models blend ~0.47, small discount for Etcheverry weak pre-week form)
Edge = 46.0% - 38.2% = +7.8% | min odds 1.05/0.46 = 2.28 -> 2.70 clears
Alt markets: handicap model probs null, no margin anchor -> skip; total under thin and contradicted by coin-flip winner read -> skip.
VERDICT: BET Etcheverry ML @2.70, 1.5u
Three-model consensus vs market + clay-specialist dog in DOM form + Bublik fatigue-disadvantaged (69 min heavier, back-to-back).
