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.
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.
