MODELS
ELO A 0.651 | ML A 0.496 | Model A 0.499
Market: A 2.40 (imp 39.5%) / B 1.57 (imp 60.5%) → value_pick A, edge +10.4%
Bot: BET A 2.5u (0.25-Kelly on ELO/ML mutual-agreement)
FORM (last 90d, most recent first)
Fearnley: WON Wimb R64 vs Michelsen(1655) 3-6 4-6 6-2 6-3 6-2 GRIND(5-set comeback)
LOST Nottingham R16 vs Bonzi(1736) | LOST Ilkley FINAL vs Bu(1786)
grass lead-in poor; historical clay Rome final win May (stale for grass)
Munar: WON Wimb R64 vs F.Cerundolo(1736) 6-1 6-4 6-3 DOM vs STRONG
LOST Eastbourne R16, LOST Hertogenbosch R16 (grass lead-in weak)
but R1 demolition is the loudest live signal
FATIGUE
Fearnley: 3 matches/14d, 9 sets, 371 court-min, back-to-back, last 06-30 (deep 5-setter)
Munar: 2 matches/14d, 6 sets, 177 court-min, last 06-30
Court-time diff 194min (>60) → FEARNLEY heavily disadvantaged on legs
NARRATIVE
Let-down: none active (last final was a LOSS, weeks back)
Venue: Wimbledon 1-0 both (single R1 sample)
No title recency edge on grass for either
VERDICT — PASS
The +10.4% "edge" is ELO-driven, and ELO here is stale: it rates Fearnley
the normal favorite, but the CURRENT ML model is a coin flip (0.496) and does
NOT back him. Qualitative read sides with the MARKET, not the ELO: Munar is
fresh and just posted a DOM straight-set win over a Strong opponent (F.Cerundolo),
while Fearnley is gassed after a 371-min 5-set comeback. The model edge is a
mirage the fatigue + fresh-form signals actively contradict. No validated edge.
