FORM (grass, last 90d)
FRITZ — elite grass run:
W Kypson (1550) 6-2 6-2 7-5 DOM vs Avg
W Lajovic (1524) 6-3 6-4 6-3 DOM vs Weak
L Tiafoe (1746) 4-6 4-6 Halle FINAL loss
W Zverev (1876) 7-6 4-6 7-5 GRIND vs ELITE
W Shelton (1910) 7-6/6-7/6-7→win GRIND vs ELITE
(2x Wimbledon wins dominant; beat two elites at Halle)
SONEGO — grinder, gassed:
W Diallo (1730) 5-set war (7-6,4-6,7-6,6-7,6-2) GRIND
W Etcheverry (1592) 6-4 6-4 6-7 7-6 GRIND
L Kecmanovic, L Basilashvili (Halle final), L Shelton
Reached Halle final but lost; mostly clay-court decline before grass.
FATIGUE
Fritz: 6 matches/14d, ~680min court, back-to-back 3
Sonego: 4 matches/14d, ~669min court, just played a 5-set 3h war 2d ago
Court time ~equal (11min); Fritz more matches. Sonego carrying deeper single-match load.
→ Roughly equal — neither gets a clean edge.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: Fritz lost Halle final 13d ago — outside window, None.
Venue: Fritz 2-0 at Wimbledon, dominant. Sonego 2-0 but via marathons.
Title recency: neither holds a fresh title (both lost last finals).
VERDICT — PASS
Fritz is the correct match-winner: superior grass form (beat Zverev + Shelton,
both Elite, at Halle), two clean Wimbledon wins, and Sonego drained by a 5-set war.
BUT all three models cluster at 0.83-0.87 vs market 0.827 — full consensus, zero
value at 1.15 (EV ≈ 0.95). Qualitative read confirms the favorite, does not create
a price edge. No bet.
