═══════════════════════════════════════════════
M. Giron (A) vs A. Zverev (B) — Wimbledon 1/16-finals (grass)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
ODDS: Giron 14.1 (impl 6.9%) | Zverev 1.05 (impl 93.1%) | value_pick A, edge +8.2%

MODELS (prob Giron A):
  ELO   0.230   ← meaningfully ABOVE market 6.9%
  ML    0.218   ← also above market
  model 0.151   (blended, post-shrinkage)
  Market devig 0.069
  → Both ELO and ML disagree with the market. Not a consensus → candidate value.

FORM — GIRON (grass, last ~4wk, heavy schedule):
  W vs Halys (1617) 7-6 6-3 6-4      GRIND
  W vs Moutet (1639) 4-6 6-4 7-5 6-4 GRIND (4 sets)
  L vs Draper (1818) Eastbourne
  L Eastbourne FINAL vs Choinski (1470)
  W vs Broom (1579) SF
  L London FINAL vs Hijikata (1680)
  W vs Evans (1661) SF | W vs Bautista-Agut (1716)
  → Genuine grass form: two grass finals in the lead-up, now R16 Wimbledon.
  → BUT every win is vs Avg/mid opponents (1580-1720). No DOM, no wins vs Strong/Elite.

FORM — ZVEREV (elite, off his best surface):
  W vs Royer (1661) 6-1 6-3 7-6      grinding 3rd set
  W vs Blockx (1589) 4 sets, 3x tiebreak GRIND vs a ~150-ranked
  L vs Fritz (1996) Halle SF
  Halle QF/R16/R32 wins | French Open FINALIST (lost 5 sets to Cobolli)
  → Winning but laboring on grass (his historically weakest slam), just off a deep RG clay run.

FATIGUE: A 668min / 5 matches-14d ; B 643min / 5 matches-14d.
  |court diff| 25min (<30), |matches diff| 0 → Roughly equal. No edge either side.

NARRATIVE:
  Let-down: neither has a recent WON final (Giron lost 2 grass finals; Zverev lost RG final 26d ago). None.
  Title recency: none.
  Venue: both 2-0 at Wimbledon this fortnight — amplifier only, creates no edge.

VERDICT: BET A (Giron) — small longshot value, 1.0u.
  The model edge is real numerically and gets MODEST qualitative support: Zverev is grinding
  on his chronically weak slam (dropped sets to Blockx & Royer) straight off a 5-set RG final,
  while Giron arrives in legit grass form. At 14.1 (breakeven 7.1%) a ~9-11% true chance clears
  the line. Sized DOWN from the bot's 2.2u — Giron has zero quality wins and the class gap is
  enormous, so this is a high-variance lottery ticket, not a conviction play.
  Forecast winner remains Zverev.
