MEJIA vs ZHENG — Wimbledon 1/32 (grass)

MODELS: ELO 0.427 | ML 0.406 | model 0.449 | serve/return 0.717 (all Mejia). Market: Zheng 1.35 (devig 71.9%) / Mejia 3.45 (28.1%). Value A, edge +16.8%. Both models price Mejia near a coinflip — 13-18pt disagreement vs a heavy 1.35 favorite.

FORM — Mejia (A): HOT on grass. Won Wimbledon Final 6-4 6-4 6-4 over Schoolkate (1691 Strong) 06-25 = DOM vs Strong, TITLE 6d ago. SF DOM over Heide (1477). GRIND wins vs Rocha/Vallejo (Weak/Avg). 4-set R1 win 06-29. BUT lost Dublin qualifying 06-17 to Zhou (1632); weak clay/hard season prior.
FORM — Zheng (B): Higher class. Beat Norrie (1674 Strong) in a 5-set marathon 06-29, Smith (1649) in Final 06-25 (TITLE 6d), Djere (1570), Squire (1379). Deep FO + Wimbledon runs. Tougher slate overall.

FATIGUE: court time 590 (A) vs 535 (B), diff 55min; 5 vs 4 matches/14d — roughly equal, but Zheng's acute load (5 sets, 2d ago) is the heavier recent toll. Both back-to-back, both 2d rest.

NARRATIVE: Both won a Final 06-25 -> WEAK let-down, cancels. Title recency equal. Venue: both hot at Wimbledon.

VERDICT: BET A (Mejia) 1.5u @3.45. Two models agree with a real edge, validated qualitatively — Mejia's live grass form (DOM over Strong in a final) + Zheng off a draining 5-setter make 3.45 a value underdog. Class gap and low model confidence (0.03) keep size modest. Predicted match winner: Zheng (favorite).
