Beks reached two career singles finals with a record of 0 wins and 2 losses both occurring on the ITF Futures circuit on clay courts. Additionally, he has reached 25 career doubles finals, with a record of 11 wins and 14 losses which includes a 1-5 record in ATP Challenger finals. In 2007 he won the Chiasso Challenger doubles title with Matwé Middelkoop defeating Romanians Teodor-Dacian Crăciun and Victor Crivoi 7-6(7-2), 7-5 in the final match to claim his first and what would become the only ATP Challenger title of his career.
