Karlovic: It was difficult…
Ivo commented “In the beginning, it was difficult. He was hitting his shots. But I just tried to believe, to stay in the match and hope I could turn it around. In the end, it happened.”
… the crowd was loud
The he added “They were really loud, which is normal. This is his [Wawrinka’s] home crowd. They were all cheering for him. I just tried to ignore it and think positive. In the end, it paid off.”
