NARRATIVE
Let-down: Skatov won Gstaad Final 7d ago → WEAK letdown window, partially materialized
(lost next day at Gstaad, then grinding vs weak opposition).
Venue: no prior Estoril history for either beyond this week.
Title recency: Skatov — Gstaad 7d ago (clay). Live form real but leg-heavy.
VERDICT: PASS
Meaningful model-market disagreement on Skatov (+12 pts) exists, but the qualitative read
kills it rather than validates it: Skatov carries 151 more court minutes, two back-to-backs,
a fresh-title letdown window, and needed a deciding-set tiebreak grind vs a 1456 opponent
yesterday — classic fatigue tells. Martinez posted a DOM 6-0 6-4 semifinal and is the
fresher man. No counter-value on Martinez either: models at 48% vs 61% implied means backing
A has negative model edge. Both sides fail the bar → no bet.
