Think you might have the wrong end of the stick SC, the reference is to doubles 'tinder', Tinder being the dating / hook-up app that's based on the premise of very quickly choosing 'partners' based on a picture or two and a tiny bio.

Correct.    Can't expect a dinosaur like me, who has nothing to do with/understands allusions to social media other than message boards, to grasp the finer points of them - not that I'm going to lose any sleep over it...

Aljaz giving Karlovic a serving lesson
Takes the first set 6-4 (6 aces to 4, and only conceded one point on serve in the set)

Excellent result - and I think reaching the semis for Aljaz here means he will also get the special exempt for Istanbul next week and go straight into the main draw field (ie missing qualies).

Great result. Probably Verdasco in the Semis and that will be a big test.

Well Verdasco just lost a very tight second set in a tie-break, so anything could happen

Superb, 15 wins in a row ...

And I know Ivo isn't exactly your ace returner or rallier but Aljaz's points on serve are ridiculously good.

Here's a turn-up for the books: 

SF:  (Q) Laslo Djere (SRB) WR 184 (CH = 170 in November 2015) vs (Q) Aljaz Bedene WR 68

Aljaz beat him in straight sets on clay in the first round of the Banja Luka Challenger in 2013.

Has to be an excellent chance of making his second ATP tournament final now. I hope he can keep this streak going for two more games!

Two more wins, and Aljaz will overtake both Kyle and Dan, according to live rankings
