FORM — BERGS (grass, last 14d = title run + deep Wimbledon)
  W Faria (1727)   7-6 4-6 6-2 6-3   GRIND (4 sets)
  W Humbert (1764) 2-6 5-7... won 3-2 5-SETTER   GRIND vs Strong
  W Humbert (1794) 3-6 6-1 6-4  EASTBOURNE FINAL — TITLE, vs Strong

  W Choinski(1581) 6-3 6-3       DOM
  W Munar (1629)   6-2 6-4       DOM
  Elite grass form — beat Humbert twice, won a title. But grindy and relentless.

FORM — FERY (grass)
  W Virtanen (1839) 5-7 7-6 6-3 6-3  quality win vs Elite-ish
  W Dzumhur (1440)  lost s1 then 6-2 6-2 6-1  DOM finish
  L J.M.Cerundolo (1396) 2-6 6-7  bad loss vs Weak (inconsistency flag)
  W Burruchaga(1545) 6-2 4-6 7-5  GRIND
  W Mannarino (1807) 7-6 6-4      quality vs Strong
  W Samuel (1581)   6-0 6-2       DOM
  Leveled up at Wimbledon (Dzumhur, Virtanen). Fresher legs.

FATIGUE  (heavy side disadvantaged when court-time diff > 60min)
  Bergs: 7 matches/14d, 5/7d, 21 sets, 782min court, back-to-back x2
  Fery:  5 matches/14d, 2/7d, 15 sets, 642min court, back-to-back x1
  Diff = 140min (>60) → BERGS disadvantaged. Both 2 days' rest.
  Bergs' load: won an Eastbourne title + a 5-setter, then a 4-setter — 21 sets in 14d.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Bergs won Eastbourne Final 6d ago → WEAK (partly spent, 2 Wimbledon wins since).
  Title recency: Bergs TITLE Eastbourne 6d ago (grass) — live form high.
  Venue: both 2-0 at Wimbledon this event.

VERDICT — BET FERY (B) @ 2.21, 1.0u
  Market edge on Bergs is essentially nil (+1.1%). The lone model dissent (ML → Fery)
  is validated by a concrete, large fatigue gap: Bergs is carrying 21 sets/14d incl. a
  fresh title and a 5-setter, +140min court time over a fresher Fery who has quality
  grass wins (Virtanen 1839, Mannarino 1807). Plus-money on the fresher man with model
  support = value. Predicted match winner remains Bergs (favorite); this is a contrarian
  value play on the underdog, sized small given Fery's inconsistency (loss to Cerundolo 1396).
