JMG, I think your theory is even more right now: every time he takes a long break from tournaments, he is playing bad in his first match.

Beck was really a relatively easy opponent on paper (there were many more difficult opponents in the draw), the problem is that in Rotterdam, he could run into somebody much better now, e.g. Federer.

I have the feeling that it will be very hard for him to get some wins in Rotterdam.
