Grr.. this guy would be a Futures struggler without that serve.

Hope Andy will break here.

Tiebreak

0-1 Monster serve from Ivo. Andy read it and couldn't get near it
 
1-1 Good body serve from Andy. Unreturned

2-1 Second serve. Rally. Ivo put the ball in the corner and tried to charge the net but Andy passed cross court.

2-2 Big serve down the middle.

2-3 Andy got a racket on that one but Ivo just controled the volley

3-3 Good serve poor return and Andy battered the ball at the Ivo bh drawing the error

3-4 Minibreak. Noooo. Second serve. Stupidly Andy went at the fh, Ivo took a swing and it just caught the line at Andy's feet. That could be costly. 

3-5 Nooooooooo. Second serve. Andy had a real chance in that rally and drove the ball at the net, he is showing a lot of frustration.

3-6 Second serve , again, that doesn't happen often. It was close to being a double and Andy didn't do enough with the return. Good winner from Karlovic on the volley

3-7. Second serve. Just to rub salt in the wound Karlovic won a ralley

Andy shouldn't have lost that breaker and he really shoudn't be outralleyed on set point.

Andy gave away that game with unforced errors and mediocre serving. He has a mountain to climb now, litterally.

Wow. Karlovic missed a lot of first serves in that game and Andy took advantage to go 15-40. Then Karlovic hit a big one at Andy's bh and our boy responded with a clean winner down the line. Much better.

2-1 to Andy. It feels a bit better now. I hope he can find his serve again in the second set and it would be nice if he could get another break of Ivo. Please Ivo - keep serving to Andy's backhand.

More errors from Andy let the game slip from 15-40 to deuce. Then another error let Karlovic off at Ad Murray but a mighty fh winner got things going and Andy took it at the fourth time of asking.

Andy didn't do enough with the second serves and couldn't get near the first serves.

Btw they asked for questions, so I've asked them to stop calling Ivo the Croatian sensation all the time
