FATIGUE
  Parry: 0 matches 14d, 0 min — fully rested, but 19-day layoff + grass→clay switch (rust risk)
  Hontama: 4 matches/7d, 12 sets, 362 court min, back-to-back, played 07-19
  Edge: Parry by court time (>60min diff) — but Hontama is match-tight on this exact court

NARRATIVE
  Hontama: Won "Final" here 1d ago → LETDOWN flag, but same-tournament next-day match
  strongly suggests qualifying mislabeled as Final → momentum, not letdown. Venue 2-0.
  Parry: TITLE Paris 64d ago (clay). No Prague history.

VERDICT: PASS
  Both models lean Parry harder than market and the class gap is real (Keys/Kalinina
  scalps vs Hontama's sub-1500 diet). But the exchange market is empty (1.03/1.02
  placeholder quotes) → book-priced segment, which requires ≥8% edge vs the 1.44 book.
  Realistic win prob ~0.74 → edge ~4.6% (min odds 1.42 barely met, but under the 8%
  book-priced bar). Add first match in 19 days on a new surface vs a match-tight
  opponent and a skeptic passes easily. No alt markets priced. PASS.
