Ivo Karlovic (CRO) vs. Lleyton Hewitt (AUS)

[thalivest]

LOL! How could you be injured when you dont move at all. All he does is serve on his serve games, then not move and tank the points when Hewitt serves.

 

[bolo]

He is a European tennis player..

lol. that's not nice.

 

[thejoe]

Can we get back to the match? I don't care what this girl has to say.

I have seen this happen to karlovic at wimbledon too. I think he started cramping there.

 

[SAFINATORZ]

karlovic could break the aces record

 

[thejoe]

From what though? Arm/wrist cramp?

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

Karlovic must have shocking fitness if he is cramping considering all he does is serve aces.

 

[thejoe]

Great return.

 

[thalivest]

Karlovic must have shocking fitness if he is cramping considering all he does is serve aces.

Yeah if any ball is put in play he just tanks, doesnt even try to move or dumps the ball in the bottom of the net if he touches it.

 

[bolo]

From what though? Arm/wrist cramp?

at wimbledon I think it was in the legs. Here I am not sure he is cramping, just looks very dehydrated, tired.

 

[SmAsH999]

i picked hewitt in 4 sets. when he played baghdatis in 2008 at the aussy open, and hit that inside out forehand winner down the line on mp, i was in total shock.

 

[Telepatic]

Ivo is finished, thanks God.

 

[bolo]

Karlovic must have shocking fitness if he is cramping considering all he does is serve aces.

he must have trouble training hard given his height. Probably a little bit frail.....like sampras.

MTO for his back. I could see how his back could get hurt with all those aces ....... service winner keeping him in it at this point

karlovic DF into the break 1-2

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

he must have trouble training hard given his height. Probably a little bit frail.....like sampras.

Lol Sampras was an incredible athlete who played an all action style unlike Ivo.

 

[bolo]

I hear in the background: SIDORENKO RIGHT BACK IN THIS THING.

poor safin.

 

[thalivest]

He must have an injured back or shoulder or something since even his serve sucks now all of a sudden.

 

[Bud]

karlovic could break the aces record

What is this aces record you speak of?

 

[Love Game]

karlovic just served his 52nd ace
and the 53rd ....................... breaks the aces record for ?aces served in a regular tour match?

 

[Bud]

Ivo is finished, thanks God.

 

[Bud]

karlovic just served his 52nd ace
and the 53rd ....................... breaks the aces record

Holy crap! That's more than 2 sets of games :shock:

 

[ReturnWinner]

karlovic just served his 52nd ace
and the 53rd ....................... breaks the aces record

he breaks his own record (although shared with Joachim Johansson ) of 51 aces.

 

[thalivest]

His serve suddenly came back again. Too little, too late. Atleast he gets a big record. Hewitt is fighting very hard just to be the lamb going to the slaughter in several days. Noble of him.

 

[ReturnWinner]

but too bad the guy is pretty bad in five sets matches, Fitness is a factor of course.

 

[tennisplaya]

Great stuff Lleyton...

You went for Ivo in 4 sets on clay. You really don't have any idea .

 

[Serendipitous]

Any live streams?

 

[fedtastic]

Hewitt is a legend. This is good for my predictions league table as I predicted Hewitt i 5. woohoo

 

[SAFINATORZ]

Karlovic and Joachim Johansson held the most aces served in a match at 51. He just broke the record again. 53 and counting

[SAFINATORZ]

Amazing he did it on CLAY against one of the better returners.

 

[Love Game]

Ivo holds w/his 54th ace

 

[norbac]

Wooo, finish this off Lleyton!

 

[SAFINATORZ]

it's funny, they've all hit record breaking aces however they've both lost the match. Same goes for richard Krajicek when he held the record back in the day.

 

[Bud]

Karlo is a foot taller the Hewitt!

Hewitt has 18 aces, himself

 

[tennisplaya]

Is that record just for the most aces in a match ON CLAY.

 

[SAFINATORZ]

what is hewitt's 5 set match record.

 

[Bud]

Is that record just for the most aces in a match ON CLAY.

Most aces in a match... on any surface.

This match is approaching 4 hours :shock:

Total aces from both players... 73 total

 

[Underhand]

Karlović is a giant mental midget.

 

[SAFINATORZ]

more like a mental giraffe if u ask me!

Karlović is a mental midget.

joachim/agassi was a 4 setter, I remember that match, thunderous serving from joachim.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Hewitt takes it 6-3 and wins the match.

 

[bolo]

hewitt stops on a dime, turns, fist pumps, THE WIN.

 

[SAFINATORZ]

awesome win BY lleyton hewitt! karlovic folds like a cheap suit! what an idiot@

 

[shadows]

Respect Lleyton, that was a monster match

 

[fedtastic]

Let's just hope Philipe Chartriere court plays like this court. Nadal should be scared very scared.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

That was a heck of a match.Respect for Hewitt.

 

[Underhand]

Karlović's can look eye-to-eye with the umpire without looking up.

 

[fedtastic]

What a fighter hewitt is. Great comeback. Good luck to Hewitt for the rest of the tournament. Hope he gives Nadal a good fight, should they meet.

 

[Ronaldo]

55 aces and he loses?
