The goat of all unorthodox players deserves 5 minutes of your life for a final farewell.


He won titles on all surfaces, and set many ace records, some of which were surpassed pretty soon?

In 2009 DC vs Czechia he hit 78 aces or so. It was surpassed by Isner-Mahut anomaly in 2010, but such long matches aren't possible anymore so arguably Karlović is the man for kinda "regular" five setters.

He never served most aces in a season, he almost did it once I think, but Ivanišević at 1477 in 1996 has been the man.

He surpassed Ivanisevic for most career aces I think but then he also got surpassed by Isner.

Still, Karlovic's has the highest % of aces per match.

I enjoyed watching Dr. Ivo play late into his career and I appreciate
his efforts. He will be missed and I hope he has a great life beyond
professional tennis!
