NARRATIVE
A: TITLE Nottingham 29d ago (grass) — outside let-down window. No Prague history either player.
A's form peak was all grass; clay is her weakest 2026 surface.
VERDICT — BET B +4.5 @ 1.86 (Betfair), 1.5u
Winner thesis agrees with market (Bouzkova ~69% to win) → no ML bet. The edge is the margin:
market prices -4.5 near coin-flip, sim says 38.5% cover, and the qualitative read validates it —
Bouzkova is a counterpuncher with zero dominant clay wins in 2026, wins by attrition, and Bouzas
is a main-draw regular who keeps matches competitive vs non-elite power. My cover est for B +4.5:
0.60 (shaded down from sim 0.615 for Bouzas' poor recent results) vs 53.8% implied → ~6pt edge → 1.5u.
Risks: Bouzas' recent blowout losses (Keys 0&1, Pegula 1&3); Athens quali loss 7d ago; opponent-ELO
placeholder muddies that result.
