J. Lehecka vs A. Zverev — Wimbledon (grass) 1/8-finals
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
MODELS
  ELO   P(Lehecka) 0.433  |  ML 0.317  |  Blend 0.316
  Market implied  Lehecka 0.254 (@3.75) / Zverev 0.746 (@1.28)
  Value pick A (Lehecka), edge +6.2% (post-shrink) — ELO strongly disagrees with market.

FORM — Lehecka (grass, strong)
  W vs Munar   (1687 Strong)  6-4 6-4 4-6 6-4   GRIND, Wim R16 run
  W vs Molcan  (1594 Avg)     6-3 6-2 6-4       DOM
  W vs Popyrin (1534 Weak)    6-4 6-2 6-4       DOM
  W vs Tiafoe  (1658 Avg)     6-4 7-6           quality grass win
  W vs Majchrzak(1842 Strong) 7-5 7-6           GRIND
  Stuttgart SF, deep Wim run — big-serving grass game firing.

FORM — Zverev (grass, laboring)
  W vs Giron   (1670 Strong)  6-2 7-6 6-4
  W vs Royer   (1661 Strong)  6-1 6-3 7-6
  W vs Blockx  (1589 Weak)    6-4 6-7 7-6 7-6   4 sets vs sub-1600
  W vs Collignon(1721 Strong) 7-6 7-6           two TBs vs weak
  L vs Fritz   (1996 Elite)   7-6 4-6 5-7        Halle SF
  Grinding through TBs vs weaker foes — chronic grass vulnerability showing.

FATIGUE
  Lehecka 4 matches/14d, 464min court, last 2d ago
  Zverev  3 matches/14d, 445min court, last 2d ago
  Verdict: Roughly equal (court diff 19min, matches diff 1).

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Zverev won French Open Final 29d ago (clay) — beyond window, no active let-down.
  Title recency: TITLE French Open 29d ago (clay); live grass form outweighs historical/clay pedigree.
  Venue: both 3-0 at this Wimbledon; amplifies, does not create.

VERDICT — BET Lehecka @3.75, 1.5u
  Market prices Zverev's reputation/ranking (1.28) more than grass reality. ELO sees 43% for
  Lehecka; his form (Stuttgart SF, wins over Tiafoe/Majchrzak) plus Zverev's well-documented
  grass frailty (needing 4 sets & multiple TBs vs sub-1600 opponents) validate the edge. At
  3.75 (25% breakeven) even a conservative ~35-38% true win chance is +EV. ML aligns with
  market, so sizing trimmed to 1.5u. Predicted winner still Zverev (favorite), value on Lehecka.
