    07-04 W15 KB7 SF    L vs Tomase (1500, Avg)       4-6 1-6

    07-01 W15 KB7 R32   W vs Ivanovic (1500, Avg)
    → playing W15 futures, 2-3, bageled by a 1500 in last match

FATIGUE
  A: 6 matches/14d, 677 court min, 3 back-to-back — BUT 6 days rest since 07-13
  B: 1 match/14d, 114 min, 12 days since last match
  → Raw workload favors B, but A's 6-day gap defuses most of it

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: A lost Iasi Final 6d ago — outside 0-3d NOTE window → none
  Venue: no Hamburg history for either player in window
  Title recency: none

VERDICT: PASS
  ELO/sim flag value on Petkovic at 10.0, but the qualitative read kills it:
  her live results are W15-level losses to ~1500 opponents (0-6 final set in
  her last match). The model edge is almost certainly stale tour-career ELO,
  not real win probability. Lepchenko's fatigue is half-dissipated by 6 days
  rest. No independent validation for the dog → no bet. alt_markets null.
