  07-01 W Zhang (1656 Str) 6-3 6-2 ........ DOM

  06-24 W Begu (1652 Str) 6-1 6-1 ......... DOM
  -> Bad Homburg champion + 3 straight-set Wimbledon wins. Best grass form in draw.

FORM — KREJCIKOVA (B)  [fresh, 2024 W champ]
  07-03 W Bartunkova (1813 Str) 6-3 7-5 ... DOM vs Strong
  07-01 W Andreeva (1683 Str) 4-6 7-5 6-4 . GRIND

  06-14 L Montgomery — Walk Over (H'bosch Final, withdrew)
  06-13 W Linette (1699 Str) 6-3 7-6 ...... GRIND
  -> Quality DOM over Bartunkova last round; form spottier but slam pedigree.

FATIGUE
  A Muchova .... 7 matches/14d | 389 court-min | 3 back-to-back days | last 07-03 (2d)
  B Krejcikova . 4 matches/14d | 295 court-min | 0 back-to-back | last 07-03 (2d)
  Court-time diff 94 min (>60) -> heavier side MUCHOVA disadvantaged.
  Edge: Krejcikova materially fresher.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Muchova won a title 8d ago (outside 7d window) but has won 3 since — no active letdown, in rhythm.
  Venue: neither has Wimbledon W-L history in window (first appearances this event).
  Krejcikova = former Wimbledon champion, grass pedigree.

VERDICT — BET B (Krejcikova) @2.62, 1.0u
  ELO disagrees with market (46% vs 64%) and the qualitative read partly validates it:
  Muchova is the hotter, better player but is deep into a heavy schedule (7 matches,
  389 min, 3 consecutive match days) and priced at a razor-thin 1.50. Krejcikova is
  fresh, a proven Wimbledon champion, and just posted a DOM win over a Strong opponent.
  At 2.62 the fatigue + freshness + pedigree make the 17.5% ELO value real. Sized down
  to 1.0u because ML (0.857) strongly contradicts and Muchova has been winning through
  the fatigue — this is a value underdog play, not a winner call. Predicted match winner
  still Muchova.
