Both players came into this match knowing that the winner of this match would win the tie, and the title. Therefore, this match holds a lot of meaning and importance. Karlovic comes into this match as the favourite as he is higher-ranked and has a 3-1 head to head record against Delbonis. The only win by Delbonis was also a retirement by Karlovic, so Karlovic was definitely the favourite here.
