J. Mensik vs G. Dimitrov — Wimbledon 1/32 (grass)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
MODELS
  Market:  Mensik 1.60 (61.2%)  |  Dimitrov 2.52 (38.8%)
  ELO:     Mensik 32.1%   ML: 57.4%   Model: 46.6% / 53.4% (B)
  Value pick B (Dimitrov), edge +14.6% — ELO-driven.

FORM
  MENSIK (fav): FR Open SEMI-FINALIST — beat Fonseca (1867, DOM-ish
    6-4 6-3 7-6), beat Rublev (Elite 1920, 5-set GRIND). Wimbledon R1
    5-set GRIND vs Samuel (1582) — messy but through. Elite-level
    competition, huge ceiling, well rested.
  DIMITROV (dog): Wimbledon R1 W vs Sweeny (1750) 7-6 6-3 7-5 — solid.
    But came via DUBLIN GRASS QUALIFIERS + Mallorca; losses to Jacquet
    (1583), ADF (1689). Wins over 1480-1589 fodder. Live level is low;
    the ELO edge rests on stale grass reputation, not current form.

FATIGUE
  Mensik: 3 matches/14d, 462min, rested-ish.
  Dimitrov: 6 matches/14d, 501min, back-to-back x3 — heavier load.
  Edge: MENSIK — fresher AND the more fatigued side is the ELO "value" pick.

NARRATIVE
  No recent Final for either (Mensik SF, no let-down trigger).
  Venue: neutral, no title recency.
  Dimitrov grass pedigree is historical, not live — live form outweighs it.

VERDICT: PASS
  The +14.6% "edge" on Dimitrov is an ELO artifact from old grass rep.
  Live form (Mensik = Slam SF beating Elites; Dimitrov = grass-qualifier
  level) validates the MARKET, not the underdog. ML (57%) and market (61%)
  agree on Mensik; only ELO dissents and the qualitative read refutes it.
  No real edge — no bet.
