Playing against Karlovic is often frustrating.
The 6’11’ has a tremendous serve that is often un-returnable. Sela has played several against the giant to always lose to him. This time in Bogota’ it wasn’t any different as Ivo defeated him 7-6 (8) 7-6 (5).
Apparently this poor record wasn’t bothering much Dudi as he was somewhat perplexed on how to hug his opponent and friend from Croatia. So the only solution was to grab a chair, get onto it and give a big hug!
Sela: I always wanted to hug him!
The funny Israeli commented “We’re good friends and I really like him, he’s a very nice guy. I always wanted to hug him, but I didn’t have the chance, and today I think was a good moment. I saw the chair and I thought it would be nice to finish the match like this with a hug, so the crowd will see it’s okay.”
The funny part? Even on the chair Dudi was still shorter than Ivo! We love it!
