═══ J. Grabher vs J. Vandromme — Kitzbuhel Quali QF (clay) ═══
MODELS & MARKET
Odds: Grabher 2.25 (impl 41.1%) | Vandromme 1.57 (impl 63.7%)
ELO: 61.6% A | ML: 29.9% A | Value pick: A (+20.5% per ELO)
Alignment: ML agrees with market (B fav); ELO disagrees hard (+20pts on A).
Caveat: Vandromme is a fast-rising player with thin rating history (her recent
opponents show default 1500 ELOs) — ELO likely undervalues her, so the raw
model edge is discounted.

Vandromme (14W-7L in window, red-hot):
07-16 W Hercog (Avg 1500) 4-6 0-3 — likely opp. retirement

FATIGUE (precomputed)
Grabher: 3 matches/14d, 2/7d, 9 sets, 355 court-min, 0 b2b, last 07-15 (rest day)
Vandromme: 7 matches/14d, 5/7d, 21 sets, 575 court-min, 3 b2b, last 07-16
Diff: 220 court-min and 4 matches in Vandromme's legs — far past the 60-min
threshold. 12 matches in ~11 days (full Contrexeville run to the final, then
straight into Kitzbuhel quali, played yesterday). Clear edge: Grabher.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: Vandromme lost Contrexeville Final 5d ago (no formal flag at 5d, but
it caps a draining fortnight); also lost an ITF Wimbledon final 06-25.
Venue: both 2-0 at this event; Grabher is the Austrian playing at home.
Title recency: none for either (Grabher lost Rome final 05-05).
VERDICT
Market/ML price Vandromme's hot streak; ELO prices Grabher's class. ELO's +20pt
edge is partly a rating artifact, but the fatigue differential is extreme and
independent of ELO: GRIND volume + finals week + b2b quali schedule vs a rested
former top-60 clay-courter at home. True Grabher win prob ~49% vs 44.4% implied
at 2.25 — a small but real edge, qualitatively validated.
BET Grabher ML @2.25, 1.0u. Predicted winner (narrowly): Vandromme — this is a
value-dog stake, not a winner call.
