FATIGUE (server-computed)
  A: 2 matches/14d, 6 sets, 177 min, no b2b, last 07-14
  B: 4 matches/14d, 12 sets, 369 min, b2b x2, last 07-16
  Diff ~192 min → Zoldakova clearly disadvantaged.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none for A (last Final: Madrid 04-21, Lost, >7d). B won W15 Oegstgeest
  Final 05-03 — too old to matter.
  Venue: no prior Prague Open matches in window for either.
  Data note: both histories show other tournaments this week (Iasi 07-14,
  Olomouc 07-16) while this is a Prague SF — stale/mixed feed adds uncertainty.

VERDICT: PASS
  ELO's value flag on B fails qualitative validation: B's ELO rests on
  provisional/junior data (opponents full of flat 1500s), she is the far more
  fatigued player (369 vs 177 min, back-to-backs, played 2 days ago), and she
  keeps losing to Weak opposition at this stage. ML (91% A) sides with the
  market. Conversely, backing Salkova at 1.29 on a 4-match losing streak vs
  Avg/Weak opponents is no edge either. No stakeable side; alt markets null.
