shown, so current form is likely better than the raw 3W-8L reads.
FATIGUE

Barthel: 3 matches/14d, 276 min, last 07-15 + unlogged Hamburg matches
Diff ~105 min → fatigue edge to Yashina (>60 min rule), the dog's one real signal.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: Yashina LOST Athens Q final 6d ago → NOTE only (and she lost it 6-1 6-2).
Venue: no Hamburg history for either. Title recency: none.
VERDICT — PASS
ELO's +10 pts on a 9.00 longshot is unvalidated: Yashina's own form is poor
(blowout loss to a 1500 opponent last match, no quality wins), cross-tier ELO is
unreliable, and ML sits exactly on the market. Barthel's fatigue is a lone,
partially stale signal (missing Hamburg rounds). Longshot bias at 9.00 plus a
split model board = no bet. alt_markets null → no margin market to pivot to.
