Ivo Karlovic

Player details
Name Ivo Karlovic
DOB 28/02/1979
Nationality CRO
Pre-Tournament Odds 50/1
Became Pro 2000
Seeding 18
World Ranking 22
At just short of seven feet tall, it's no surprise that Karlovic's greatest asset is his serve and it has helped him to enjoy success on grass, with victory in Nottingham last year - a title he has just defended. However, he has a poor record at Wimbledon, losing in the first round in each of the last three years. Boosted his ranking significantly with a strong finish to last season, but has struggled this year, despite giving Rafael Nadal a tough time at Queen's.
