FATIGUE

  B: 5 matches/14d, 490 court-min, 3 b2b, last 07-13
  Edge: Kotliar heavier by ~117min → disadvantaged side is B

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Kotliar won Rome final 07-12 (6d) → WEAK letdown, plus crushed by
  Urgesi the very next day. Urgesi: no letdown; Caserta title 41d ago (clay).
  H2H 5 days ago: Urgesi 6-3 6-0 — direct, recent, dominant.

VERDICT: PASS
  The flagged value is on Kotliar (+4.8pts ELO), but the qualitative read kills
  it: B was double-breadsticked by this exact opponent 5 days ago, carries the
  heavier schedule (490min, 3 b2b), and only beats sub-1400 opposition. The
  pro-Urgesi case (ML 69%) yields a thin ~2.7pt edge at 1.40 with ELO on the
  other side — below the bet bar. No alt markets priced. Models split, neither
  edge survives validation → pass.
