RECENT FORM (last 5 shown; all fetched matches used)
  Rocha (17 matches, futures level, mostly Weak/Avg opposition):
    07-17 L T. Cacao (1500) 4-6 7-6(8) 2-6 — GRIND loss, M15 QF
    07-16 W L. Marionneau (1500) 7-5 6-3 — DOM vs Weak
    07-15 W M. Farzam (1500) 6-7(7) 6-1 7-6(5) — GRIND vs Weak
    06-30 L E. Hudd (1445) — loss to Weak
    06-27 L M. Alkaya (1570) — SF loss
  Pattern: 0 DOM wins vs Strong/Elite; grinds and losses against 1400-1500s. Futures-calibre form.
  Bueno (12 matches, Challenger/ATP-level opposition):
    07-12 L I. Marcondes (1611) 4-6 6-7(7) — tight ATP Bastad SF
    07-07 L L. Djere (1829, Elite) 1-6 2-6 — blown out
    06-22 L J. Kym (1580) — Wimbledon QF, 3 sets
    06-18 L D. Svrcina (1656) 2-6 3-6
    06-17 W F. Ferreira Silva (1540) 6-4 6-3
  Pattern: 2-5 recent stretch but every loss to Strong/Elite; DOM wins vs Avg (Sachko, Ferreira Silva). Class gap over Rocha's field is large.

FATIGUE
  Rocha: 3 matches / 401 court-min in 7d, back-to-back x2, played YESTERDAY (07-17 M15 QF loss). Heavy load.
  Bueno: 1 match / 205 min in 7d, 6 days rest. Court-time diff ~196 min → Rocha clearly disadvantaged.
  Fatigue edge: Bueno (the favourite).

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Bueno lost Bastad SF 6d ago → none material. Rocha none.
  Venue: no Estoril history for either. Title recency: none.
  Note: Bueno lost the French Open (junior/challenger-tagged) Final 05-21 — historical, not live.

VERDICT — PASS
  Both models agree with the market (0.4% "edge" is rounding noise). The only anti-favourite angle — Bueno's 2-5 stretch — is fully explained by opposition quality (1580-1829 ELOs), while Rocha is grinding tiebreaks against 1500 futures players and arrives gassed off a loss played yesterday. Qualitative read reinforces the favourite; no disagreement to exploit on any market (alt markets not priced). No bet.
