Action junkie: Ito (+140) or Becker (-170) in 5 min?

I am going to bite on Becker. Too much rust on Ito with Becker winning three matches and serving well on these courts through qualifiers.

Never win these Becker matches when he's favored though. Ito is scrappy and plays well on hard courts.

Ito really outplayed Becker through the first seven games, but was unable to get a break point converted in either of two big spots. Becker won the final two games quickly.

To set two...Becker making key points on serve so far.

Becker is pooping out. Up a break, he failed to hold serve to get to 4-2; unable to convert any of the three game points to hold. Ito looks revitalized. This match just turned to Ito's favor.

I would take the 4:1 live bet for Ito at Bet365 if I could!

Becker needs to hold here at 3-4 in the second or he is toast.

Live bet Ito quick if you can. The quali matches are getting Becker. He is done

At Bet365, Ito went from 4:1 dog to a 6/5 dog entering the third set. They are keeping Becker as an 8:13 favorite for now. I am kind of shocked. Good chance to get a fresh player with momentum on sale.

Boris junior with a break! A chink in Ito's armor? This service game huge.

Whats next?
