RECENT FORM (last 5 each)
  Putintseva (A):
    07-10 Bastad SF  L vs Badosa (1748, Strong) 1-6 2-6 — blown out
    07-09 Bastad QF  W vs Kraus (1760, Strong) 6-2 6-3 — DOM vs Strong
    07-08 Bastad R16 W vs Radivojevic (1640, Avg) 6-4 7-5 — DOM
    07-06 Bastad R32 W vs Matoula (1516, Avg) 7-6 6-1 — GRIND (TB)
    06-29 Wimbledon R1 L vs Maria (1805, Strong) 4-6 4-6
    Mixed: DOM win over Strong Kraus is real, but sandwiched by Badosa blowout and a June loss to 1443-ELO Dudeney. Inconsistent.
  Liu (B):
    07-13 Iasi qual F  W vs Oz (1471, Weak) 6-4 6-1 — DOM
    07-12 Iasi qual SF W vs Popa (1456, Weak) 6-3 6-4 — DOM
    07-07 Bastad R32   L vs Kraus (1744, Strong)
    07-03 Wimbledon R2 L vs Gauff (1726, Strong) 3-6 7-6 2-6 — competitive
    07-01 Wimbledon R1 W vs Sonmez (1744, Strong) 7-5 6-3 — DOM vs Strong
    Hot streak (Trnava title, Wimbledon qualify + MD win, set off Gauff), but recent DOM wins are vs Weak qualifiers.

FATIGUE
  A: 5 matches/14d, 15 sets, 400 min, last played 07-10 → 3+ days rest
  B: 6 matches/14d, 18 sets, 501 min, last played 07-13 (back-to-back qualies, third match in three days)
  Court-time diff ~101 min → Liu on the heavier side; rule flags her disadvantaged, though her two qualifying wins were short.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Liu "Won Final" 1d ago is the Iasi QUALIFYING final — same venue, momentum not letdown; noted, discounted.
  Venue: Liu 2-0 at Iasi this week (qualies); Putintseva 0 matches here.
  Title: Liu W75 Trnava 3 title ~59d ago (hard).

VERDICT — PASS
  Value edge on B is under 1% and ML + blended model sit on top of the market. ELO's lean toward Putintseva argues against the B side, not for it. Qualitatively it's a wash: Liu's form + venue momentum vs a third straight match day and 100 extra court minutes; Putintseva rested but erratic. No model-market disagreement, no qualitative tiebreaker → no bet on any market (alt lines not priced).
