FATIGUE A: 626min court time, 6m/14d, 18 sets, b2b 2, played yesterday (age 25 — baseline recovery)
B: 689min, 8m/14d, 24 sets, b2b 5 straight match days, played yesterday (age 23 — baseline)
Gap 63min → B nominally disadvantaged, but both are deep-run tired and the gap is marginal; B has won through the entire load
NARRATIVE Venue: both unbeaten at Hamburg this week (A 2-0, B 4-0 incl. qualies). Final hits in B's log (Iasi 07-13, Hamburg 07-20) are qualifying finals — letdown signal discounted, she has won twice in the main draw since. No surface transition (clay throughout for both).
VERDICT PASS. ELO (A ~60%) and ML/sim (B ~57-60%) point in OPPOSITE directions and the exchange sits exactly in the middle at pick'em — there is no model-market disagreement that both models support, and the qualitative reads cancel: B has the hotter streak and the better scalp (Putintseva 1758 yesterday) but the heavier schedule (689min, 5 consecutive match days); A's grinding 3-setters over weaker opposition do not independently validate a 60% win claim. Alt markets add nothing: handicap is a 0.5-line ML clone, total under edge ~1% (0.518 vs 1.98). No stakeable edge on any market.
