MODELS

  Market: A 1.40 (impl 67.4%) | B 2.90 (impl 32.6%)
  Value pick B, edge +11.4% — all three models call this a near-coinflip,
  market has Bergs a heavy 1.40 favorite. Meaningful model/market divergence toward Faria.

FORM (last ~14d)
  BERGS (A): 6-0 run.
    R64 Wim 06-30 W vs Humbert(1764,Strong) 5-SET GRIND (2d ago)
    FINAL Eastbourne 06-28 W vs Humbert(1794,Strong) 6-3 6-1 6-4 — TITLE (4d ago)

  FARIA (B): strong grass form.

    (Won a sub-event final 06-25)

FATIGUE
  BERGS: 762 court-min, 6 matches/14d, back-to-back tournaments,
         Eastbourne title (4d) then 5-SET Wimbledon marathon (2d ago). Heavy load.
  FARIA: 576 court-min, 4 matches/14d, fresher.
  Court-time diff 186min > 60 → Bergs materially disadvantaged.

NARRATIVE
  Let-down: Bergs won Eastbourne title 4d ago → POSSIBLE let-down spot.
  Venue: neutral (first Wimbledon meeting for both this event).
  Bergs' peak (title) was on grass — but live legs matter more than the trophy.

VERDICT
  Model edge on Faria (+11.4%) is validated by the qualitative read: Bergs is
  running on fumes after an Eastbourne title + 5-set R64 war two days ago, while
  Faria is fresher and in clean grass form. Market's 1.40 on a gassed Bergs is
  too short. BET FARIA (B) @2.90, 2.0u.
