  Both posted a DOM win over a Strong opponent in the SF — form signals cancel out.
  B is the stronger recent hard-courter (W100 Tokyo final + Gifu QF runs, hard).

FATIGUE (precomputed)
  A: 7 matches/14d, 21 sets, 449 court-min, 3 back-to-backs
  B: 4 matches/14d, 12 sets, 276 court-min, 1 back-to-back
  Diff: 173 court-min, 3 matches → clear fatigue edge to TARARUDEE.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none (A's Hertogenbosch title 42d ago — too old; B's Tokyo final loss 84d ago).
  Venue: both 4-0 at Istanbul 2 — cancels.
  Title recency: A won Hertogenbosch 42d ago (grass) — stale, different surface.

VERDICT: PASS
  The only model edge on A (ELO +4.2%) is thin AND contradicted by both the ML model
  (35.5% for A) and the qualitative read (A carries nearly double the court time with
  3 back-to-backs; B fresher and the better hard-court form). The reverse case (B ML)
  is only ~2.4% vs the exchange-less book price with no alt markets to reprice.
  No side clears the bar: models disagree with each other, and the qualitative signal
  kills the priced edge rather than validating it.
