It all comes down to Sunday at Pozoblanco, where Chris Rodesch faces Ilya Ivashka for the trophy. Chris Rodesch is rolling — 4 straight wins, 6 of 10 in recent play. Ilya Ivashka has won 3 in a row and 7 of the last 10 overall.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
Rodesch's 73.5% behind the first serve (against 69.8% for Ivashka) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Rodesch comes in off a compressed schedule. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Rodesch.
