Beck is No.1 seed here, on the verge of making it back into Top 100, and is 3-0 against Kravchuk (all in straight sets). Things seem pretty straightforward here and Beck clearly is the favorite deservedly? No, it's not that simple. All three of those h2h matches were indoors, with five out of six sets ending in tie-breaks. They played two tie-breaks here last year, beck had no break points in the whole match. Kravchuk misses all five of him and then lost both tie-breaks despite winning total of only three points more. He used only one out of his 10-break points in the first head-to-head, while the second one ended in two tie-breaks. That was the tournament in Sarajevo where the surface was just as fast and not too good in terms of quality. Kravchuk knows how to play indoors and represents the typical player who loses matches only on account of poor mental strength despite being very close in all of them. They went over this margin easily in all three matches. The margin is set according to odds and has nothing to do with reality or this surface that makes it very tough to win breaks.
