Ivo Karlovic: "It feels really good. He's one of the best players today. So I'm really happy that I won. The court is excellent for my game. It's really quick, so I like it.
"After I lost my serve in the second set, I knew that my only chance was to break him, which I did. And after that, I really felt up, and my level went up. I was more aggressive on his serve, and I was more confident. And that's why I won."
James Blake: "I was up 5-3, 30-love, and I have no one to blame for that but myself. I made some errors and didn't make some first serve.
"His serve isn't something you're used to dealing with, especially the angle.You see a lot of big serves from Andy [Roddick], [Ivan] Ljubicic and [Mario] Ancic, but you don't see anyone coming from 6'10". It's difficult, but I got on it well enough to win the first set breaker and get that one break. I really had it on my racquet. It's my fault.
"It's not fun. It's a hard match to get rhythm in. You don't feel good about your tennis against him. It's nothing against him: he's a nice guy. But that's the way he's forced to play with that kind of a weapon."
