FATIGUE
Altmaier: 2 matches/14d, 1/7d, 267min court time, played yesterday — in rhythm, moderate load
Darderi: 0 matches/14d, last match 06-29 (16 days ago) — fully rested but rusty
Edge: Darderi fresher on paper, but 16 days off + 4 straight losses reads as rust, not rest
NARRATIVE
Let-down: None (no recent finals either side)
Venue: Altmaier 1-0 at Bastad (this event); Darderi no history here
Title recency: none
VERDICT: PASS
The only model edge (ELO +11.5% on Darderi) is built on his May clay results (Rome SF).
Live form points the other way: Darderi winless since 06-23 and idle 16 days; Altmaier
just won DOM at this venue and took Elite/Strong scalps in June. Qualitative read
invalidates the B edge rather than confirming it. The counter-case for Altmaier ML @2.40
is thin (~2-4pt edge at best) with zero model support — ML prices A exactly at market.
No alt markets available. No stakeable edge either direction.
