FATIGUE (precomputed)
A: 5 matches/14d, 4 in 7d, 15 sets, 427 court min, back-to-back x2, played YESTERDAY (Bastad SF run -> straight to Iasi)
B: 1 match/14d, 59 court min, ~3 weeks light schedule before a 59-min demolition opener
Court-time diff 368 min > 60 → Putintseva heavily disadvantaged. Clear fatigue edge B.
NARRATIVE
Let-down: B lost Wimbledon Final 20d ago — outside 0-3d window, no signal. A: none.
Title recency: B — TITLE: Paris ~65d ago (clay). Live clay form supports it.
Venue: both 1-0 at Iasi this week — neutral.
VERDICT
ML model meaningfully disagrees with market (38.7% vs 60% for A) and the qualitative
read validates the B side: massive fatigue/court-time gap, Charaeva fresh and dominant
with proven DOM wins over Strong clay opposition, Putintseva leaking losses to Avg/Weak
tier. ELO's mild pro-A lean is historical; live form outweighs it.
My P(Charaeva) ≈ 0.51 vs 0.4425 implied → ~6.7% edge → 1.5u.
BET: Charaeva ML @2.26, 1.5u.
Risks: Putintseva class/experience edge (ELO still pro-A); she showed no fatigue signs
in yesterday's 7-5 6-2 win; WTA-250 small-sample volatility; Charaeva's Wimbledon run
came vs soft draw ELOs.
