Ivo Karlovic v Roger Federer live

It’s Men’s Quarter-Finals day at Wimbledon and you can watch Ivo Karlovic against Roger Federer (13:00 Start) live at Bet 365.

Giant Croat Ivo Karlovic overpowered the somewhat inconsistent Fernando Verdasco in round four, and if he is to beat Swiss ace Roger Federer he will have to employ the same tactics again. Karlovic’s excellent serve makes him an extremely difficult and frustrating opponent for anyone in the game, and nearly all of his matches are won and lost on tie breaks - he tends to hold his serve easily but makes no impression on his opponents.

The trouble for Karlovic is that he normally does hand his opponent small chances to break serve, and with an opponent of Roger Federer’s class, those chances, under pressure are likely to be taken. It is at the business end of a set where the top quality players exert their superiority, and players like Federer know how to pull out what’s required to defeat a man like Ivo Karlovic.

Five times Champion Roger Federer will have to bide his time in this one, although one can expect a comfortable victory in three narrow sets for the World No.2. Federer is 1/12 to beat Karlovic, whilst the Croat is 13/2 to knock out the tournament favourite. He will need to serve more aces than ever before in his career if he is to stand any chance.
