06-13 Zagreb SF W 3 sets vs Primorac (1533, Avg)
Strong clay season (Zagreb title, Rabat + Makarska finals), but dominant recent wins are all vs sub-1450 qualifiers; lost to a 1469 at tour level a week ago.

07-08 Bastad R16 L 3 sets (TB) vs Burillo (1490, Weak) GRIND — bad loss
07-06 Bastad R32 W 3 sets vs Oliynykova (1782, Strong) GRIND — quality win

05-27 Wichita L vs Grubor (1298, Weak)
05-26 French Open L vs Liu (1585, Avg)
2-6 since Saint Malo title (05-03, beat Valentova 1818). Flat form, but capable vs Strong opposition.
FATIGUE
A: 3 matches/7d, 217 min, back-to-back, played yesterday — but only ~72 min/match avg.
B: 2 matches/14d, 304 min (two 3-setters), 6 days rest.
Court-time diff 87 min nominally flags B, but rest days offset it → effectively neutral.
NARRATIVE
Let-down flag on A (Won "Final" 1d ago) = Iasi QUALIFYING final at this same event → momentum, not letdown. Discounted.
Venue momentum A: 2-0 at Iasi — built entirely vs Weak qualifiers, cannot create an edge.
Title recency A: Zagreb W100 29d ago (clay).
VERDICT: PASS
ELO's +4.2% on Uchijima is contradicted by the ML model (which likes A MORE than the market) and undermined qualitatively by her TB loss to a 1490 last time out. The counter-case for Avanesyan rests on DOM wins over 1333/1417 qualifiers — not transferable. No model-market disagreement with qualitative validation on either side. alt_markets null → no stakeable alt line. Predicted winner: E. Avanesyan.
