Diff ~600 min → EXTREME edge to Jacquet on rest.
NARRATIVE
Daniel: TITLE Bastad 6d ago (clay) → WEAK letdown window; lost very next day after that final. Iron-man schedule but DOM'd yesterday's SF, so fatigue not yet visibly biting.
Jacquet: TITLE Wimbledon qualifying 23d ago (grass) — stale, off-surface.
Venue: both 1-0 at Estoril this week — no signal.
VERDICT: PASS
Both models disagree with the market — in opposite directions — and the qualitative
signals split the same way: Daniel is clearly the better player right now (opponent
quality, three recent clay titles), but the entire ELO edge is mortgaged against a
600-minute court-time deficit, 3 back-to-backs and a post-title letdown window.
Conversely the ML/fatigue case for Jacquet is undercut by his thin resume (DOM only
vs Weak/Avg, blown out by Trungelliti days ago) and ELO calling him a 2:1 dog.
Conflicting edges of similar size on both sides = no stakeable read. alt_markets null,
so no margin market to pivot to. Slight forecast lean Daniel (~55%) on class, but
nowhere near a bet.
