FATIGUE
Bouzkova: 2 matches/14d, 6 sets, 209 min, no B2B, last 07-22.
Valentova: 5 matches/14d, 15 sets, 372 min, 2 back-to-backs, last 07-22 (3-setter).
Raw court-time gap 163 min → Valentova disadvantaged. Age modulation: Valentova is 19,
recovers fast → softened one tier to "slight edge Bouzkova". Bouzkova 28 = baseline.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: none (no recent Finals won either side).
Venue: both 2-0 at this Prague event this week — neutral.
Surface transition: Valentova came off Athens hard courts but already has 2 clay
matches in Prague — timing reset, no live transition penalty.
ELO/rank sanity: ranks 46 vs 48 nearly equal, yet ELO gives A ~60% — Valentova is a
fast-rising 19yo whose ELO likely lags her level; discount the ELO gap slightly.
ALT MARKETS
AH A -2.5 @1.90: model cover 55.0% vs comm-adj implied 53.9% → +1.1%; also laying the
fav at -2.5 = high-variance class (needs >=10%). Dead.
Total 21.5: U @1.92 model 51.9% vs adj 53.4% → -1.4%; O negative too. Dead.
VERDICT: PASS
Full consensus: ELO, ML, blend, book and exchange ALL favor Bouzkova, and the
exchange (61%) already prices her above the model (59%). Valentova's heavy week
(372 min, 2 B2Bs) is softened by age 19 and doesn't create dog value at 2.48
when the model only gives her 41%. No stakeable edge on ML, handicap or total.
