Wimbledon 1/32 (grass) — J. Ostapenko (A) vs A. Ruzic (B)

MODELS: ELO 0.67 | ML 0.591 | serve-return 0.488 | blend 0.634 (A). Market 1.25/4.03 -> devig A 0.763 / B 0.237. Value pick B, edge +12.9%. All three models sit BELOW market on Ostapenko; serve-return actually leans Ruzic.

FORM A (Ostapenko): W Dart 6-3 3-6 6-4 (GRIND, Wim R1, 1d) | L Maria RET down 6-1 1-2 (Eastbourne SF, 4d) | W Sonmez 6-3 6-0 (DOM, Strong 1761) | W Udvardy 3-6 6-1 6-2 (GRIND) | W Jones 6-2 6-2 (DOM). Made Eastbourne SF then retired, then won Wim R1. High class ceiling but erratic.
FORM B (Ruzic): W Semenistaja 6-3 3-6 6-3 (GRIND, Wim R1, 1d) | L Marcinko 6-7 6-4 6-7 | L McNally 6-3 6-0 (Strong 1740, blown out) | W Preston 6-3 6-7 7-5 (NOTTINGHAM FINAL, 17d, grass title) | W Juvan 6-3 6-4 (DOM) | W Hunter 6-3 4-6 7-5 (LONDON FINAL, grass title). Two grass titles in June, but wins over Weak/Avg fields; demolished by Strong+ (Andreeva 6-1 6-0, Jovic, Samsonova, McNally).

FATIGUE: A = 4 matches/7d, 298 court-min, back-to-back, RET 4d ago. B = 1 match/7d, 251 court-min, last 1d. Court-time diff 47min, matches_14d diff 2 -> slight edge B on rest; A carrying heavier 7d load + fitness flag.

NARRATIVE: Ostapenko RET 4d ago = fitness NOTE on favorite. Ruzic TITLE Nottingham 17d ago (grass), London ~23d ago (grass) — live grass form. Venue (Wimbledon) neutral, both 1-0. No let-down on either (titles >7d).

VERDICT: Contingent underdog value. 4.03 overprices Ostapenko's certainty given her 4-in-7 load + retirement 4d ago and erratic profile, while Ruzic carries real grass form. Tempered by Ruzic's blowout losses to Strong+ players — Ostapenko is a level above her usual field. Small bet on B; predicted match-winner stays Ostapenko.
