FATIGUE
  Molcan: 5 matches/7d, back-to-back x3, 15 sets, 676 min court time
  Altmaier: 3 matches/7d, back-to-back x1, 9 sets, 307 min court time
  Court-time diff 369 min (>60) → Molcan heavily disadvantaged.
  Fresh Altmaier vs a grinder on fumes = real fatigue edge to B.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none (Mallorca Final win ~30d ago, grass).
  Title recency: Molcan Mallorca title 6-21 but GRASS — not clay-relevant.
  Venue: no Kitzbuhel history either side.
  H2H: Molcan beat Altmaier 7-01 but on grass; clay changes little.

VERDICT — PASS
  ELO + market agree on Molcan (~0.59); ML slightly softer (0.523).
  The only edge story is Altmaier's large fatigue/rest advantage,
  which nudges his true prob toward ~47-49% vs book implied 43.1%.
  That is a ~4-5% book edge, BELOW the 8% threshold required for a
  book-priced ML bet (no executable exchange price — 1.03/1.03 is a
  dead line). Illiquid, no-exchange events are exactly the losing
  backtest segment. Molcan side has essentially zero edge (models=market).
  No stakeable value on either side → PASS.
