═══════════════════════════════════════════════
A. Krueger (A) vs M. Kostyuk (B) — Wimbledon 1/8-finals (grass)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
MODELS
  ELO   : Krueger 72.2%   (heavily inflated by win volume vs weak/avg grass fields)
  ML    : Krueger 33.6%   (market-anchored, sides with book)
  Market: Krueger 34.4% @ 2.75  |  Kostyuk 65.6% @ 1.44
  Value : pick A, edge +0.38  (huge — model split, ELO vs market/ML)

FORM — Krueger (grass specialist, red-hot)
  W vs Snigur   (1706 Strong) 6-3 6-2      DOM
  W vs Bolkvadze(1640 Avg)    6-1 6-0      DOM
  W vs Vekic    (1796 Strong) 3-6 7-6 6-4  GRIND (3set)
  TITLES this grass swing: Birmingham (May31), Ilkley (Jun14)
  → genuine grass form, dominant recent Wimbledon wins

FORM — Kostyuk (clay specialist, grinding on grass)
  W vs Navarro   (1843 Strong) 2-6 6-4 6-1  GRIND
  W vs Blinkova  (1644 Avg)    6-7 6-3 6-2  GRIND
  W vs Podoroska (1454 Weak)   6-1 6-2      DOM
  Elite ceiling is CLAY: bt Swiatek 2046, Svitolina 2050, Madrid final vs Andreeva
  → grass resume is thin, two 3-set grinds to reach R16

FATIGUE
  Krueger: 6 matches/14d, 435 court-min — but last two Wimbledon wins were quick DOMs (~130min)
  Kostyuk: 3 matches/14d, 228 court-min — but last two were draining 3-set grinds
  → freshness for THIS match roughly equal; not the Krueger red flag the raw court-min implies

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none active (last Final = Ilkley title, 22d ago)
  Venue: Krueger perfect grass-court-season run (Birmingham + Ilkley champ)
  TITLE: Ilkley (grass) 22d ago — live grass form outweighs Kostyuk's historical clay ELO

VERDICT — BET Krueger (A) @ 2.75, 1.5u
  Market anchors to Kostyuk's clay reputation/ranking; on grass the surface edge flips.
  In-form grass champ with DOM wins vs a clay specialist grinding 3-setters is worth
  far more than 34%. ELO's disagreement is validated by the surface + form read.
  Not full conviction — ML+market consensus and Kostyuk's elite ceiling cap the stake.
