NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Ryser won Don Benito title 6d ago → WEAK letdown, but stacked on top of
  a brutal schedule (Spain W35 → Vitoria → Prague in one week).
  Venue: no prior Prague history either side. H2H: Ryser d. Hontama 6-3 6-0 (Gifu, 04-29, hard).
  Title recency: Ryser — W35 Don Benito 6d ago (hard).

VERDICT: PASS
  The ~5% model edge on Ryser is not qualitatively validated — it is contradicted.
  She carries nearly double Hontama's court time, a 4-day back-to-back streak, a
  title 6 days ago, and cross-country travel. The H2H blowout is pre-fatigue and on
  hard. But Hontama at 1.61 has no model support either (models ~53% B vs 62% implied),
  and her own form is grindy. No alt markets priced. No side offers a validated edge.
