Nevertheless, I think a world record has been set - Karlovic's tally of 51 aces must have equalled, if not surpassed, J Johansson's record against Agassi at the Australian Open! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Re: Tennis : Wimbledon 2005 (20th June - 3rd July) Tisparevic 4-0 up vs. Haas. Haas injured during warm up. Tisparevic 1.5 on betfair. Haas retiring, 1 set and a break down, easy money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edtkh Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Re: Tennis : Wimbledon 2005 (20th June - 3rd July) KARLOVIC v BRACCIALI Lots being said about Karlovic on here and in other places. Just been looking at the ATP site and of the 70 sets Karlovic has played this season 31 have gone to a tie break. Ignoring clay the breakdown is as follows: Carpet: 6 sets played; 4 tie breaks Hard: 19 sets played; 8 tie breaks Grass: 25 sets played; 16 tie breaks Now this obviously suggests (as we all know) that Karlovic's serve takes some breaking, however it would also suggest that he doesnt break his opponent too often. The only time ive seen him this year was in the final of Queens versus Roddick (lost 7/6 7/6) and he really didnt look like breaking the Roddick serve. Okay, so thats no disgrace, but even when his own serve was returned it was clear that he was always struggling to win a point once a rally ensued. Now add all this to the fact that in their only meeting (on grass) Bracciali won 2 sets to 1 (all tie breaks), and you have an extremely tight match in prospect. Bet365 odds are Karlovic 2/9; Bracciali 3/1. In summary I would not touch Karlovic at those odds and for me this is either small stakes on Bracciali or no bet! Luddite, excellent call there! :clap Couldn't have seen that one myself... Guess I should have taken the standard of Karlovic's returns into consideration in case there was a need for a 5th set. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
