FATIGUE - Gaston: 6 matches/14d, 827 court-min, last match 07-14 → 5-6 days rest - Dzumhur: 7 matches/14d (5 in 7d), 972 court-min, back-to-back x4, Final played 2 days ago - Diff 145 min > 60 → Dzumhur clearly the heavier side NARRATIVE - Dzumhur: Lost Final 2d ago → letdown NOTE; straight from Umag final to Estoril R32 - Gaston: no letdown spot; no venue signal for either at Estoril VERDICT: PASS The only model edge is on Dzumhur ML/−0.5 (~2.7-2.8%) — below the 5% bar at the executable exchange price — and the qualitative read (extreme Dzumhur fatigue, lost-final letdown, triple-TB grind vs Arnaldi) undermines that edge rather than validating it. Backing Gaston on the fatigue story has zero model support (needs ≥51.8% vs sim 42.6%). Total (Over 22 ~1.5% edge) equally thin. No side clears the bar.
