Tomic's live hard-court form is genuinely strong (Lincoln title, 6 wins in 11 days),
but nearly every win is a GRIND 3-setter.
FATIGUE (precomputed)
Boyer: 3 matches/14d, 9 sets, 207 court-min, last match today. Fresh-ish.
Tomic: 7 matches/14d, 21 sets, 858 court-min, 2 back-to-backs, last match today.
Court-time gap ~650 min → heavier side (Tomic) disadvantaged; Tomic is 33 →
recovers slowly → disadvantage HARDENED. Boyer 25, baseline.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: Tomic won Lincoln Final 7d ago → WEAK letdown; TITLE: Lincoln 7d ago (hard).
H2H: Boyer beat Tomic 5 days ago on hard (Bloomfield Hills, Tomic likely retired).
Venue: both 1-0 at Los Cabos this week. Surface transition: none (both on hard).
GATES
G1 edge-origin: FAIL — the only numerical model-market edge is on Tomic (B ~52.7%
model vs 41.6% commission-adj exchange), but the models are fatigue-blind; a
Boyer bet has NO numerical edge (models 47-55% vs exchange 64%) and would be
built entirely on fatigue narrative.
G2 consensus: FAIL — for the B edge, market AND ML model both sit against Tomic,
and the hard independent evidence (Boyer d. Tomic 5 days ago on hard, likely
retirement) is AGAINST the pick, not for it.
G3 fatal-risk: FAIL — backing a 33-year-old with 858 court-min/14d, 21 sets and a
probable retirement vs this exact opponent 5 days ago directly negates the
Tomic-value thesis.
VERDICT: PASS. The model flags Tomic value, but that edge exists only because the
models cannot see his brutal 14-day load; the market can, and the recent H2H
(Boyer won 5 days ago, likely via Tomic retirement) validates the market side.
Backing Boyer instead has no numerical edge at 1.59 (need ~64%+, models say 47-55%).
No alt markets priced. Predicted winner: Boyer.
