FATIGUE
A: 6 matches/14d, 18 sets, 531 court min, 3 back-to-back — heavy load, but last match 07-14 (6d rest)
B: 4 matches/14d, 12 sets, 366 court min — lighter load, but 4 matches in 7d and only 2d rest + travel
→ Court-time diff 165min flags A, offset by A's 6 rest days vs B's compressed week. Roughly a wash.
NARRATIVE
A: WEAK letdown (Iasi title 7d ago) — largely decayed. Venue: no Hamburg history in window.
B: quali-SF loss then main draw entry; no letdown spot.
VERDICT: PASS
Models and market fully agree (~53/47 B). Betfair 1.83/1.62 carries ~16% overround; after 5%
commission both sides price well above any defensible probability (A needs 55.9%, have ~47%;
B needs 62.9%, have ~53%). No model-market disagreement, no qualitative signal strong enough
to override consensus. Min odds: A 2.22, B 1.98 — neither available. No alt markets priced.
