Sloppy game from Andy up till 15-40 then he pull out the big serve and saved it.

I don't know what to think about that. Andy shouldn't be giving away chances but the response was excellent.

How can Karlovic serve that hard and not have any double faults in the match? It is unreal.
I think his height is the key. We'd all find it easier to get the ball over the net and down fast if we were that tall!

See, we just need to invest in a rack to stretch out our young tennis players and that might help them get a Croat type serve.

Deuce here on Ivo's serve. 2 great passes and a mad UE from Ivo after being 40-15 up. C'mon Andy - Ivo looks knackered.

If Andy can hold his next few service games semi-easilly here then I think he'll get a chance to break Ivo because he isn't looking great at the moment.

First point Andy, hit a lovely passing bh on the run, Andy does like to run onto the ball. Then a long pause and a bullet of a first serve from Karlovic. However, Karlovic continues to pause between points and it looks like he is either tiring or losing his concentration. In contrast Andy senses the moment and he is tuned right in.

That said, in the end the mighty serve wins the game, again.

Andy is really pumped up and Karlovic looked to be going through the motions in that game.

Shoot it from the rooftops, Andy's fitness is a definite advantage in this match.

Stunning return there to go 15-30 up on Karlovic's serve. Big point here and he nets it. :( Gah!! It was a makeable pass as well.

30 all and then holds. Great point from Karlovic to win the game though. Andy looks like he's losing his cool a little again. Hopefully he can refocus for an easy hold.
