    → 2-0 at Umag, both DOM incl. Elite scalp; live clay form sharply up.

    07-15 Umag 1/8      W vs P. Carreno-Busta (1850, Elite)  3 sets (dropped a set, two 7-5s)

    05-27 French Open   L vs A. Rublev (1893)                4 sets w/ TB — GRIND
    → Elite scalp too, but labored: two TBs vs a Weak opponent, long matches.

FATIGUE (last 14d)
  A: 3 matches, 9 sets, 285 court-min (avg 95), back-to-back, last 07-15
  B: 2 matches, 6 sets, 387 court-min (avg 193), back-to-back, last 07-15
  → Court-time diff 102 min > 60 → B disadvantaged despite one fewer match.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none either side (no recent Finals).
  Venue: both 2-0 at this Umag event; no prior venue history in window.
  Title recency: none.

VERDICT: PASS
  Models flag ~5.5% value on Ugo Carabelli, but the qualitative read points the
  other way: Burruchaga's two DOM wins (incl. 6-2 6-4 over Elite Cobolli) are
  exactly the live-form signal the models lag on, while Carabelli is grinding —
  two tiebreaks vs a Weak player, +100 min of court time, and a loss to a 1404
  player two weeks ago. Model edge on B fails qualitative validation; no case
  for A at 1.72 against all three models. No priced alt markets. No bet.
