i was away for the summer

i really hope ivo can beat fish, then i think he's got a shot against agassi cause agassi just hates huge servers

Did you watch it Scarlett?

I hope Ivo can beat Agassi now and cause an upset!

Scarlett · 08-30-2005, 04:21 PM

i didn't watch it as i don't have sky or anything but i followed it online via the scoreboard and the net cam

sorry about jmg by the way!

Papakori · 08-30-2005, 08:58 PM

aww its ok, it was expected I guess.

I have some sport channel which has coverage where I can click a button and chose between courts but Ivo's match was too late and my parents were watching something but I am sure he played superbly!

Scarlett · 08-31-2005, 07:18 PM

ivo's positions in the stats from the us open site after round 1:

Number of aces: Number 2 (32)

Speed: Number 2 (141mph)

Thanks Scarlett!

Ivo lost to Agassi in 3 tiebreaks

I♥PsY@Mus!c · 09-09-2005, 08:31 AM

Will he be picked in DC SF?

After I watch his match against Andre I think he deserves to play single rubber(s)!

Papakori · 09-10-2005, 06:16 PM

I hope so too and think he deserves to!

yes he will, but he (unfortunately) won't play singles

he is playing next week in china. he plays gimblestob first round (nadal next)

good draw. he should definately beat justin and i think he has exactly the type of game that nadal can't handle on a surface that isn't clay

Papakori · 09-11-2005, 02:06 PM

yeah, I think he would have a chance against Nadal.

Just for reference, here is the draw

[1]Rafel Nadal vs Yeu Tzuoo Wang
Ivo Karlovic vs Justin Gimelstob
Wayne Arthurs vs Peter Wessels
[5]Dominik Hrbaty vs [WC]Yu Wang

[3]David Nabandian vs Kristian Pless
Dick Norman vs Q
Lar Burgsmuller vs Dmitry Tursunov
[6]Juan Carlos Ferrero vs Hyung Taik Lee

[8]Carlos Moya vs Paradorn Srichapan
Stefan Koubek vs Ivo Heuberger
Jarkko Nieminen vs Rainer Schuettler
[4]Thomas Johansson vs Jonas Bjorkman

[7]Mikhail Youzhny vs Q
Danai Udomchoke vs Bjorn Phau
[WC]Peng Sun vs Q
[2]Guillermo Coria vs Q

Thanks a lot!

So he only plays doubles or nothing again?

Do you know why DC captain doesn't consider him as a single player?

In fact I even think he should play 2 single matches instead of Mario's 2 single or 1 Mario's + 1 Ivan's.I am their both fan,but have to admit that one is not consistent enough,the other is injured.

I can smell Nadal will have a trouble against Ivo.

Ajmo Ivo in China!
