  Sherif: 7 matches/14d, 21 sets, 686 min, b2b x3, last match 07-16 (played yesterday)
  Court-time diff 177 min > 60 → clear fatigue disadvantage: SHERIF

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Sherif won Contrexeville Final 5d ago → WEAK (partly refuted by 2 Iasi wins since)
  Title recency: TITLE Contrexeville 5d ago (clay) — hot but grind-heavy
  Venue: both 2-0 at Iasi this week — neutral

VERDICT: PASS
  Model edge on Sherif is only ~3.5% (<5% band) and the qualitative read kills it:
  she carries the heaviest workload on the slate side (686 min, match every day,
  3 tiebreaks in last 4) and her streak is inflated by weak opposition. No case
  for A either — models price Putintseva BELOW market (53.5% vs 57.0%).
  Meaningful disagreement without qualitative validation → no bet.
