RECENT FORM (most recent first)
Sherif (RED-HOT but grinding):
  07-22 W Waltert (Strong 1743) 7-5 4-6 6.3-7.7 — GRIND (3 sets, TB)
  07-20 W Badosa (Elite 1853) 6-4 4-0 — Iasi TITLE (opp retired look)
  07-18 W Oliynykova (Strong 1786) 6-3 6-1 — DOM
  07-17 W Putintseva (Strong 1767) 2-6 6-3 6-7 — GRIND (3 sets, TB)
  07-16 W Quevedo (Strong 1755) 6-3 7-6 — GRIND (TB)
  → Two clay titles in 10 days (Contrexeville 07-12, Iasi 07-20). Beating Strong/Elite fields but matches are TIGHT (TBs, 3-setters).
Jacquemot (poor clay form, blowout-prone):
  07-22 W Brockmann (Weak 1463) 5-7 1-6
  07-15 L Burel (Avg 1638) 6-1 6-1 — blown out
  07-14 W Amariei (Weak 1435) 4-6 6.5-7.7 — GRIND
  07-07 L Zantedeschi 6-1 6-2 — blown out
  06-29 L Osaka 1-6 5-7
  → Reached Eastbourne final (grass) but recent clay is losses, several lopsided.

FATIGUE — EXTREME GAP
Sherif: 10 matches/14d, 30 sets, back-to-back 4, court time 1034 min, last match 07-22.
Jacquemot: 3 matches/14d, 9 sets, back-to-back 1, court time 253 min, last match 07-22.
Court-time diff 781 min → heavy disadvantage Sherif. This is the largest possible edge tier.

NARRATIVE
Let-down: won Iasi Final 07-20 (2d ago) → POSSIBLE, but already won 07-22 so partly bled off.
TITLE: Iasi 2d ago (clay). Venue: Hamburg debut round for both.

VERDICT — BET B +4.5 handicap @ 1.96 (1.5u)
Winner market is efficient (sim below market both ways → no ML). The edge is on MARGIN: Sim covers B +3.5 at 64.2%; the tradeable line is +4.5, extrapolating to ~65% cover. Betfair 1.96 (commission-adj implied 52.3%) → ~13% edge, min odds 1.62. Confirmation: Sherif is gassed (781 min court-time gap, 4-day back-to-back) and her wins are grinds, not blowouts — TIGHT margins are her signature right now. Counterweight (units held to 1.5, not 2.0): Jacquemot's own recent clay losses were lopsided (6-1 6-1, 6-1 6-2), so a blowout the other way is live. Predicted winner still Sherif; the value is the +4.5 cushion.
