  H2H 8 days ago: Waltert won decisively — but as a fresh player at the start of her run.

FATIGUE
  Kawa: 1 match/14d, 3 sets, 77 min court time, last match 07-06 (8d rest), no back-to-backs.
  Waltert: 6 matches/14d (5 in 7d), 18 sets, 456 min court time, 3 back-to-backs, last match 07-11.
  Diff: ~379 min court time, 5 matches → HEAVY fatigue disadvantage Waltert.

NARRATIVE
  Waltert: Lost Bastad Final 3d ago → NOTE (post-final letdown risk), plus Sweden→Romania travel into new event.
  Kawa: TITLE Modena 30d ago (clay). No Iasi history for either in window.
  Venue: none. Surface: both clay-comfortable; Waltert's peak week was on clay, so form is real — the question is the tank.

VERDICT
  Models (ELO 45%, ML 38%) both price Kawa above the market's 32%. Qualitative read validates:
  extreme schedule asymmetry (456 vs 77 court minutes, 3 back-to-backs vs full rest) and a
  final-loss-then-travel spot on a 1.40 favorite. The 6-4 6-1 H2H loss is the main risk, but it
  came against a fresh Waltert; this is a different physical matchup. Edge ~7-8% on Kawa ML.
  BET: Kawa ML @3.00, 1.5u. Win prob 0.40.
