FATIGUE
A: 2 matches / 6 sets / 185 min in 14d, 0 back-to-back, last 07-15.
B: 6 matches / 18 sets / 465 min in 14d, 3 back-to-backs, last 07-16 (played yesterday).
Court-time diff 280 min → Feistel heavily disadvantaged.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: B won a Final 5d ago (07-12) → WEAK letdown flag on B. A: none.
Venue: both unbeaten at this event (A 2-0, B 3-0) — neutral.
Opponent quality: massive gap in favor of A (WTA main-draw fields vs W50 fields).
VERDICT — PASS
The flagged value is on B, but it rests on the sim alone; ELO and ML agree with the market
(efficient line). The qualitative read runs AGAINST the value side: Feistel carries triple
Erjavec's court time with 3 back-to-backs and has faced strictly weaker fields, while
Erjavec's class edge (Strong-bracket wins, DOM opener here) supports the favorite price.
No model-market disagreement validated by qualitative signals → no bet. Alt markets null.
