RECENT FORM (last 5 shown; full history used)
  Neumayer (A): 07-14 L Prado Angelo (1637) 3-6 6-7(TB) GRIND | 07-12 L Umag FINAL vs Topo (1521, Weak) 6-7(TB) 5-7 | 07-11 W Poljicak (1585) 3 sets GRIND | 07-10 L Squire (1611) 2-6 3-6 | 07-08 W Justo 3 sets.
  → Lost 3 of last 4, all vs Avg/Weak Challenger opposition. TITLE: Vicenza ~50d ago (clay). No Kitzbuhel history.
  Hanfmann (B): 07-15 L Vacherot (1761, Strong) in 3 after winning set 1 | 07-14 W Martinez (1603) GRIND | 07-02 L Khachanov (Strong) | 06-30 W Mpetshi Perricard (1739, Strong) in 4 | 06-23 L Darderi.
  → Alternating W/L but consistently at ATP level vs Strong opponents; many tiebreak-heavy wins (GRIND profile).

FATIGUE
  A: 6 matches / 18 sets / 800 court-min in 14d, b2b x3 — brutal load, but last match 07-14 (6d rest).
  B: 2 matches / 6 sets / 274 court-min in 14d, last 07-15 (5d rest).
  → 526-min court-time gap favors Hanfmann; both now rested 5-6 days, which partially mitigates.

NARRATIVE
  A lost Umag final 8d ago (outside let-down window). No venue momentum for either at Kitzbuhel.

MARKETS (Betfair)
  ML A @3.40: ELO-only edge; ML model + qualitative read (Challenger-level losses, fatigue) refute it. No bet.
  ML B @1.40: ML 70.1% vs implied 71.4% — no edge.
  AH A +3.5 @1.86: sim cover 60.4% vs 53.8% implied (+6.6). But sim inherits the ELO-tilted 37.2% win prob that ML and the exchange both dispute; discounting toward ML view puts cover ~54-56% → ~1-2 pt edge. Clay widens margins, and A was blown out 5-12 by a 1611 five days before a step up to ATP level. Hanfmann's tight-win profile helps the cover case, but not enough to trust the headline number.
  Total 22.5: under 51.1% vs 51.8% implied — nothing.

VERDICT: PASS. The only real disagreement is ELO vs everyone; qualitative read backs the market, and the +3.5 edge collapses once the anchor is discounted. Predicted winner: Y. Hanfmann.
