FATIGUE
  Hipfl: 1 match / 14d, 3 sets, 118 court min, last played 07-16 — fresh.
  Giustino: 7 matches / 14d, 21 sets, 795 court min, 3 back-to-backs, last played 07-14 — very heavy.
  Court-time diff ~677 min → Giustino clearly disadvantaged; ~3 days rest only partially mitigates.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Giustino lost Liege qualification Final 6d ago — outside the 0-3d window, no flag.
  Venue: no Kitzbuhel history for either player.
  Alt markets: null — no handicap/total available to express a Hipfl-covers fatigue thesis.

VERDICT: PASS
  Model–market disagreement (~5pts on B) exists, but the qualitative read runs the WRONG way:
  the fatigue edge sits entirely against Giustino, the side the models favor. At 1.31 there is
  no margin of safety for a 795-minute fortnight against a rested opponent. Class gap likely
  still decides the match (Giustino predicted winner), but the bet edge is killed. With no alt
  markets priced, there is no vehicle for the fatigue-based margin thesis either. Pass.
