FATIGUE
Gaubas: 3 matches / 9 sets / 404 min in 14d, last match 07-13 → 5 days rest, match-tough.
Tseng: 0 matches in 14d, 26 days off → fresh but heavy rust risk.
Edge: nominal rest edge Tseng, but layoff of this length is a negative, not a positive.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: none live for either (Gaubas title 23d ago — expired).
Venue: neither has Estoril history. No venue signal.
VERDICT: PASS
The +12.8% value on Tseng exists only in the ELO model; ML (60% Gaubas) sides with
the market. The qualitative read actively undermines the Tseng case: 26-day layoff,
last outing a straight-sets loss to a 1435 player, and a coin-flip Challenger profile
(no DOM wins above Weak/Avg). Gaubas is in mediocre form but his losses came tight
against 1779/1811 opposition and he is match-tough with 5 days rest. Split models +
qualitative kill-signal on the value side = no bet. alt_markets null — no margin read.
