Ivo Karlovic produces yet another illustrious victim: Tomas Berdych.
The upset came in the first round in Doha as Ivo played a typical “Karlovic’s game”. Alias 24 aces (on 12 service games) and 83% of the points won on his first serve.
Eventually neither Karlovic nor Berdych managed to break his opponent, but it was the Croat to win holding nerves in both tie-breaks. (match stats).
Karlovic will play either Dustin Brown or his compatriot Ivan Dodig in the second round.
