  06-23 Wimbledon QF L vs Gasanova(1534,Avg)  6-2 1-6 6-7  tight loss to Avg
  -> Playing consistently at WTA-tour level opposition (Strong/Elite mix),
     competitive with legit Top-150 players even while losing.

A. Ibragimova:
  07-12 Iasi SF   W vs Kozyreva (1276,Weak)   2-6 0-6      DOM

  06-19 Blois SF  W vs Nguyen Tan(1496,Avg)   7-5 6-2      GRIND
  06-18 Blois QF  W vs Hesse    (1394,Weak)   6-2 6-0      DOM
  06-17 Blois R16 W vs Hodzic   (1406,Weak)   6-3 6-2      DOM
  -> Dominant only vs weak ITF-level ($35-75k) fields; the one Strong-rated
     opponent she faced (Curmi, 1623) beat her in a final.

FATIGUE (precomputed)
  Lepchenko: 4 matches/14d, 12 sets, back-to-back x2, ~459 court-min (avg114)
  Ibragimova: 1 match/14d, 3 sets, back-to-back 0, ~63 court-min
  Diff >60min -> heavier side (Lepchenko) flagged as disadvantaged. She played
  a grinding 3-set SF just 1 day before this final on top of a demanding
  Bastad campaign (incl. a near-upset loss to Badosa 3 days ago).

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: none actionable (Ibragimova's lost Final was 23d ago, outside window)
  Venue momentum: both 1-0 at Iasi this week (SF win each) — neutral
  Title recency: none for either player

VERDICT
  Two competing qualitative reads roughly cancel: Lepchenko's demonstrated
  class gap (DOM win over a Strong opponent, competitive with Badosa) argues
  she's live value at 1.66 per elo/ml; her heavy 14-day workload and
  back-to-back grind argue for the market/blended-model read that this is a
  coin-flip final. Net: model-market disagreement isn't clean/independent —
  the model most likely to already encode fatigue (blended) sits on market
  price. No confident edge either side. PASS.
