Dr. Ivo na 27. mjestu ATP-ove ljestvice, a Roddick bježi za manje od 90 asova.I to sve u 36. godini.Bez starca nema udarca!http://live-tennis.eu/Karlovic was bidding to reach his 13th final on the ATP World Tour and fifth of the year. He currently sits 10 aces shy of 9,000 for his career and will look to join countryman
Goran Ivanisevic and
Andy Roddick as the only men to achieve the feat, at the
BNP Paribas Masters next week.

Matchfacts data is current as of the start of this week, Karlovic would now be on 8990 Career Aces served, just 84 behind Andy Roddick. He served 93 aces this week in 4 matches. Another good week and he will be #2 all-time. He averages 18.65 aces per match, way higher than ANYONE, even Ivanisevic, who averaged 13.3 aces per match over his career.
Karlovic has served 1180 aces THIS YEAR alone. He is 1193 aces behind #1. Another good year like this (in terms of aces) and he could finish 2015 at #1 all-time.Mar AhuVill
I've never seen Karlovic or any player serve like that. it was a hell of serving ivo's 1st serve % was up to sky. ffffff Great play by Fed although by times i didn't like the crowd but i understand they were so nasty with that serving I get it. even Roger throw that passing shot right straight to Ivo, well keep going Rog.

Congrats, Roger! It was a tough job with Karlovic's powerfull serve. I admire your patience, experience and inteligent strategy against this type of tennis player. I felt ashamed for the way some of the audience behaved towards Karlovic, I am sure that you don't accept such disrespect to any opponent. I think being your fan should also mean following your class in everything:) Best of luck tomorrow, Maestro, go and get the trothy! We are always with you and happy whenether you play:)
