5-5

Easy hold from Andy. I'm loving the new serve, I know Karlovic isn't the greatest returner but Andy is serving much better than last year.

It's not true that Ivo only has one shot - he can volley too!

Hopefully Andy is going to start reading the serve a bit better soon.

Eek he just said the Croatian Sensation again!

Karlovic put on an exhibition of touch and finesse in that game.

Just kidding he whacked down the big serves as usual.

Another luv service game. That one was notable as the first time Andy has passed Karlovic.

It is possible, just.

Ivo gets the MB. The ball looked out but it was close - I can see why Andy is upset considering how important that could be but I don't think the ump could over-rule. :(

Damn. Serving machine is impossible to break.

Ah well, Andy - take it in three.

Oh b.gg..r

Must be so frsutrating to play Karlovic and know he will win 99% of the points he wins with aces and unreturnables

steven · Tennis legend

I'm liking the idea of the Americans speeding the court up only for Karlovic to win instead of Roddick. But I want Andy to win!
