FATIGUE (precomputed)
  Grabher: 5 matches/14d, 15 sets, 543min court time, 1 back-to-back, played 07-18
  Kraus:   7 matches/14d, 21 sets, 582min court time, 4 back-to-backs, played 07-18
  Court-time diff 39min + 2-match diff → slight edge Grabher; Kraus on her 5th match
  in 5 days incl. a 3-set semi yesterday. Real but not decisive at qual-final level.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none live (Kraus won Bad Homburg qual Final 28d ago — stale; Grabher lost
  Rome qual Final 05-05 — stale). Venue: neither has Kitzbuhel history beyond this week.
  Title recency: Kraus — Bad Homburg qual 28d ago (grass); Madrid + French Open qual
  finals won this spring on clay: she closes out qualifying weeks.

VERDICT — PASS
  ELO sits exactly on the market; ML leans Kraus, killing the nominal +0.4% "value" on
  Grabher. The only qualitative angle — Kraus's 4 straight match days / 21 sets — points
  the OTHER way (toward the dog), so model and qualitative reads cancel rather than
  confirm. Both women beat a Strong opponent yesterday; both are proven qual-week
  closers. No market disagreement + conflicting signals = no bet. No alt markets priced.
