  |court diff| = 189 min > 60 → Bueno HEAVILY disadvantaged. Edge = Faria.

NARRATIVE
  Bueno POSSIBLE let-down (won Final 3d ago) — but he is the dog, so no dog value created.
  Faria: clay Slam champion, best surface, rested edge. Blowout candidate.

MARKET SCAN
  ML Bueno @5.40: model 30% vs exchange 18.5%. Exchange (truth) prices Bueno BELOW
    the book AND below the model → model edge is stale/wrong, not value. KILLED.
  Handicap Bueno +4.5 @2.14: model cover 59% is anchored on an underrated-Faria
    winner prob; fatigue/blowout risk cuts the dog cover. No clean edge → PASS.
  Total Over 20.5 @1.91: model 57.6% → ~4% commission-adj edge, but straight-sets
    blowout risk pulls toward under; two-sided and thin → below bar → PASS.

VERDICT: PASS. Both exchange and the qualitative read (two-slam clay champion vs a
fatigued Challenger) validate the MARKET, not the model. The lone model "edge" on Bueno
is a model error the exchange contradicts; no alt market clears the discipline bar.
