FATIGUE (precomputed)
  Vedder:  8 matches/14d, 24 sets, 799 court-min, 4 back-to-backs, played yesterday
  Barthel: 4 matches/14d, 12 sets, 376 court-min, 1 back-to-back, played yesterday
  Diff 423 min / +4 matches → Vedder HEAVILY disadvantaged. Her 9th match in 12 days,
  third straight event (Hague title → Rome → Hamburg).

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Vedder won W75 The Hague Final 8d ago — outside 7d window → None (but the
  workload behind that title run is the fatigue story above).
  Title recency: TITLE: W75 The Hague 8d ago (clay) — live form is real.
  Venue: both 1-0 at Hamburg this week. Neutral.

VERDICT — PASS
  ELO and market are in perfect consensus at 60/40. The only model edge is ML's +7.5pts
  on Vedder, and its qualitative confirmation (red-hot 12-2 form, two titles in a month)
  is directly negated by extreme fatigue: 799 court-minutes and 4 back-to-backs in 14
  days is a textbook burnout spot for an ITF-level player in a WTA final. Backing the
  fatigue angle via Barthel fails too — she is 4-8 with zero dominant wins and losses
  to sub-1450 opposition; 2.41 offers no priced edge (0.02%). Mixed signals, efficient
  market, no alt markets priced → no bet either side.
