IVO Karlovic accused the line judges of favoring Andy Murray after they called 11 foot-faults against the hard-serving Croat on Centre Court. Murray won 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (4).
"I don't know what to say, but it was a little bit outrageous," Karlovic said. "I mean, what is this? Is it Davis Cup or is it Wimbledon? After this match, the whole credibility of this tournament went down for me."
One foot-fault was called in the final tiebreaker, while several others were made in the later stages of games. The 2.09-meter Karlovic said he moved his feet back further behind the baseline to avoid more foot-faults, but they kept being called.
"In my whole life, ever since I was 8 years old, whole life I didn't do this many foot-faults. It was like 11," he said. "So it was outrageous, outrageous. It's Wimbledon, Centre Court, and they do this. ... I feel cheated."
