RECENT FORM (last 5 shown; all fetched matches used)
Luz (A):
07-18 Estoril SF W vs Tseng (1662, Strong) 6-3 3-0 — likely retirement, minimal court time

07-05 Braunschweig SF W vs Sanchez Quilez (1550) — GRIND (TB)
06-06 Stuttgart SF L vs Onclin (1563)

07-15 Gstaad L vs Rinderknech (1718, Strong) 6-7 7-6 7-5 — 3 TB-ish sets

FATIGUE (precomputed)
Luz: 3 matches/14d, 9 sets, 263 court-min, 1 back-to-back
Tabur: 6 matches/14d, 18 sets, 945 court-min, 2 back-to-backs, 4 matches in last 7d
→ 682-minute court-time gap. Far beyond the 60-min threshold: Tabur heavily disadvantaged.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: Tabur won Gstaad Final 07-12 (6-7d before this final) → WEAK letdown, stacked on extreme workload.
Title recency: TITLE: Gstaad 6d ago (clay) — live form good, but bought with enormous court time.
Venue: no prior Estoril history for either in window.
VERDICT
Alignment: ELO and ML BOTH disagree with the market in the same direction (Luz 21-33% vs ~15% implied).
Qualitative validation: Tabur is running on fumes (945 min, 6 matches, 2 B2Bs, 3-set TB semi yesterday)
while Luz got a near-walkover semi and is comparatively fresh. 1.11 on a grinding, title-hangover
Challenger-level favourite is too short. Estimated Luz win prob ~31% vs 15.4% implied → ~15% edge.
BET Luz ML, 2.0u. Tabur remains the more likely match winner — this is a price bet, not a winner call.
RISKS: 6.50 dog = high variance; Luz semi "win" may overstate form (retirement); Tabur has repeatedly
won while tired; low-tier event → model probabilities less reliable.
