FATIGUE
  Kopp: 2 matches 14d, 198min, last 07-08, back-to-back x1
  Herbert: 1 match 14d, 220min (Gstaad 3-TB marathon), last 07-11
  → Roughly equal (court-time diff <30min, matches diff ≤1)

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: None for either (Kopp's lost Plovdiv final stale; Herbert's Gstaad loss not a Final)
  Venue: no Kitzbuhel history for either
  Titles: Kopp — Klosters clay 06-21; Herbert — Stuttgart grass qual 06-07

VERDICT: PASS
  ML/blend show a +14% edge on Kopp, but the qualitative read contradicts it:
  Kopp's model numbers are built on beating Weak/Avg M25 fields and he just lost
  a Liege qual match to a 1500 player in two tiebreaks. Herbert plays a much
  stronger schedule and pushed Monteiro (1681) to three tiebreaks on clay six
  days ago. Models likely underrate Herbert's opposition quality. Model edge
  without qualitative validation = no bet. No alt markets priced.
