RECENT FORM
Borges (A) — clay sharp:
  07-21 W Luz (1542 Weak) 6-3 6-3 — DOM
  07-17 L Darderi (1922 Elite) 6-7 4-6 — tight vs elite
  07-15 W Dimitrov (1681 Strong) 6-4 6-2 — DOM vs Strong
  07-14 W Kouame (1491 Weak) 6-4 6-2 — DOM
  07-01 L Sinner (2016 Elite) grass
  Read: 3 clean DOMs on clay + competitive loss to Darderi. In form on surface.

Burruchaga (B) — grinder, deep Umag run:
  07-21 W Wawrinka (1552 Avg) 4-6 6-4 3-6 — GRIND, 3 sets
  07-17 L Merida (1772 Strong)
  07-16 W Ugo Carabelli (1822 Strong) 3 sets — GRIND
  07-15 W Cobolli (1915 Elite) — quality scalp
  07-14 W Cecchinato (1699 Strong)
  Read: real form (Umag SF, beat Cobolli/Carabelli) but every win a 3-set grind.

FATIGUE (decisive)
  Borges:      4 matches/14d | 12 sets | 415 min court | B2B 1 | played 07-21 straights
  Burruchaga:  6 matches/14d | 18 sets | 693 min court | B2B 3 | played 07-21 in 3 sets
  Court-time diff 278 min (>60) → heavier side (Burruchaga) DISADVANTAGED. He carries a
  full Umag semifinal into Estoril and has already gone the distance here. Borges markedly fresher.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none (no recent Final for either).
  Venue: first Estoril appearance for both — no momentum edge.
  Title recency: none.

VERDICT — PASS
  The only edge (model likes B) is contradicted by the strongest qualitative signal: Burruchaga
  is deeply fatigued (693 min / 3 B2B / just played 3 sets) while Borges is fresh and DOM-ing on clay.
  The model's 50/50 doesn't price that fatigue gap — market's Borges lean is defensible, not soft.
  No usable exchange price (betfair_ml 1.03/1.03 placeholder) → book-priced dog edge does not clear
  the bar. Disagreement without independent validation = PASS.
