| W Tjen(W) GRIND | L Ka.Pliskova | W Ruzic(1704,Str) DOM
Best grass = DOM over Strong-tier; but lost STRAIGHT to 1814 two days ago.
Rybakina: W Boisson 4-6 6-1 6-3 GRIND | L Eala(1860) | Stuttgart TITLE (clay)
beating Andreeva/Muchova. Elite grass ceiling, ex-Wimbledon champ, big serve.
FATIGUE
McNally 6 matches/14d · 439 court-min · back-to-back · NOT rested
Rybakina 2 matches/14d · 154 court-min · fresh
>> Heavy edge to Rybakina. McNally cooked; opposite of what an A bet needs.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: None for Rybakina (last title clay, 2+mo ago).
Venue: Rybakina elite-tier grass pedigree; McNally no elite grass scalps.
VERDICT — PASS
The +23.8% "edge" on McNally is a model artifact. ELO/ML underrate the
class + surface gap that the 1.14 price correctly reflects: elite fresh
grass server vs an exhausted journeyman who just lost R1-caliber tests.
Fatigue and matchup both point AWAY from McNally. No value on A;
B at 1.14 is unbettable. Market efficient. Pass.
