Ivo Karlovic, the world no 22 in tennis played a stunning match on Thursday at Moscow. The 2 metre 10 man, who is also know as the ace machine due to his amount of aces and big serves, served 108 aces! Can anyone believe that. 108 aces in just 1 hour 23 mins. He beat Stepanek 6-2 6-0. He broke the record once more after he lost the record and Federer took over. This is the record from the 21st century [2000]

Hi Ranvir,
You had better check your information. I’m pretty sure he didn’t serve 108 aces in one match. Can you prove that he did?
Mr. Sam
I will prove it
Somewhat, one site says that he served 78 aces whereas another site said he served 108 aces I dont know who to believe.
