- Ivo Karlovic
If you’re into sports oddities, consider Ivo Karlovic, the 6′ 10″ Serbian playing this week in the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships.
There has never been a player like Karlovic in the history of tennis. He’s the tallest pro to climb high (#37) in the world rankings, and he has, arguably, the biggest serve ever.
In his opening match this week, which he won 7-6, 7-6, he served 32 aces. That’s an ordinary day’s work for him. In a Davis Cup match last year, he had 78 aces. That broke his previous ace records of 51 and 55. The oddity of oddities is that he lost all three of those matches. He is like a long driver in golf or a home-run hitter in baseball.
