Ace Karlovic sets a record
Print Edition
IVO Karlovic hit 61 aces, the most in a US Open match, during his five-set victory in the first round.
The 2.11-meter Croatian broke the previous record of 49, established by Dutchman Richard Krajicek in a 1999 quarterfinal loss to Russian Yevgeny Kafelnikov of Russia.
Karlovic, who is seeded 21st, beat Lu Yen-hsun of Chinese Taipei 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 7-5 on Tuesday. Karlovic, 37, finished with 10 double-faults. He hit 22 aces in the second set alone — twice as many as Scot Andy Murray produced in his three-set victory on Tuesday night.
The record for most aces in a match is 113, set by American John Isner during the longest match in tennis history, his victory over France’s Nicolas Mahut that ended 70-68 in the fifth set during Wimbledon’s first round in 2010.
