Blake’s loss to Ivo Karlovic 6 – 7 (5), 4 – 6, 6 – 3, 7 – 6 (3), 7 – 5 came mostly because of Ivo’s huge serve.  He smacked 47 aces and came back from a two set deficit to beat James in Porec, Croatia Friday July 10th , 2009.

Mardy Fish also fought a battle against Marin Cilic.  After 4 hours and 23 minutes Cilic was able to claim victory 4 – 6, 6 – 3, 6 – 7  (3), 6 – 1, 8 – 6.

If only Andy Roddick was there the score would mostlikely be different from Croatia’s 2 – 0 lead over the US.  A hip injury prevented Roddick from being able to play.  One would think that the injury is much more mental than physical after his loss in the Wimbledon finals to Roger Federer.
