FORM (last 90d, grass)
De Minaur: W6-2 area on grass. Wimbledon so far — beat Mannarino
(1790, Strong) 6-3 6-2 6-2 [DOM], Burruchaga (1515) 7-6 6-1 6-0.
London: beat Shapovalov, Diallo; lost QF to Nakashima. Clean,
dominant grass form vs quality.
Svajda: Wimbledon — survived Majchrzak (1816, Strong) 2-6 6-2 6-7
6-4 6-3 [GRIND, 5 sets], beat Llamas Ruiz 6-1 6-2 6-4. Reached

Svajda: 4 matches / 12 sets / 434 min court / B2B 1

5-set war 2 days ago vs De Minaur's straight-set cruises.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: none actionable (De Minaur lost Hertogenbosch F 19d ago;
Svajda lost Mallorca F 12d ago — neither in window).
Venue: both 2-0 at Wimbledon this event.
Title recency: none.
VERDICT — PASS
The only signal favoring Svajda is a depressed De Minaur ELO
(dragged by a poor clay season) vs an ELO-inflated Svajda. ML
(market-anchored) and the market agree at ~79% De Minaur, and the
qualitative read validates the FAVORITE, not the dog: superior grass
class, DOM win vs a Strong opponent, and a large fatigue edge after
Svajda's 5-setter. The bot's +11.7% "value" on Svajda is a model
artifact, not a real edge. No value on either side → PASS.
