FORM
  Alexandrova (A): W Tararudee(W,1533) 7-5 7-5 [labored], W Udvardy(W,1549) 6-4 6-2 [DOM],
    L Osaka(S,1694) 2-6 2-6, W M.Andreeva(S,1669) 6-3 6-4 [DOM], W A.Li(W) 1-6 7-6 1-6 [GRIND].
    Bad Homburg QF then straight into Wimbledon. Grinding out weak opponents.
  Jovic (B): W Maria(S,1814) 6-1 6-2 [DOM], W Cristian(W) 7-6 6-0, L Raducanu(S,1800) 2-6 2-6,
    W Anisimova(E,1898) 6-2 3-6 6-3 [beat Elite], W Eala(E,1864) 6-2 6-2 [DOM vs Elite], W Ruzic 6-3 6-4.
    London SF run + dominant grass results. Clearly the sharper form.

FATIGUE
  A: 5 matches/14d, 334 court-min, back-to-back x2, last 07-01.
  B: 2 matches/14d, 109 court-min, well-rested-ish, last 07-01.
  Court-time diff 225min (>60) → Alexandrova disadvantaged. Fatigue favors Jovic.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none (no recent Final for either).
  Venue: both 2-0 at this Wimbledon; neutral.
  Title recency: none.

VERDICT: PASS
  Qualitative read strongly favors Jovic — fresher, better form, DOM wins vs Strong/Elite on grass
  while Alexandrova labors vs weak fields on a heavy schedule. But Jovic at 1.61 is priced correctly:
  model prob 60.7% sits under the 62.1% raw break-even → negative EV. Alexandrova at 2.30 (39.3% vs
  43.5% BE) is also -EV. Models and market agree on direction; no price value either side. No bet.
