FATIGUE
A: 3 matches/7d, 9 sets, 254 court min, 1 back-to-back, last 07-13
B: 1 match/7d, 3 sets, 141 court min, last 07-13
Court-time diff 113min → nominal edge B, but half-mitigated: B's lone recent match was a 3-set grind and both rested since 07-13.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: None (B's Tarvisio title 18d ago, outside window)
Venue: Rome 1-0 both (this event only) — no signal
Title recency: B — W35 Tarvisio 18d ago (clay), low tier
VERDICT: PASS
ELO's 7.5pt edge on Chiesa fails validation: ML sides with the market, A's opener was DOM vs B's GRIND, and A is competitive against stronger opposition (1700+) than anything on B's ledger (W35-level title run vs Weak). Mild fatigue edge to B is partially offset. Split models + weak qualitative confirmation = no bet. alt_markets null → no alt-market angle.
