Both players played wonderful tennis till here, Philipp Kohlschreiber comes after a very tight game against Robin Soderling while Ivo Karlovic is in the same situation. Karlovic had eliminated Roger Federer, but have to mentionate that Mister Champion hasn't played at his best, thats for sure as he had played in the same way and against Robby Ginepri, obvioulsy Federer is not in form. Kohlschreiber won against Robin Soderling, both players played very well on their serve as they have a similar style of play. Kohlschreiber is a player who can play at the same level on any surface. Karlovic poses the most fastest serve in the world, but as long as Kohlschreiber will play in the same way as he done against Soderling I can't see Karlovic's advantage here, only because he has a very faster serve is not a enough reason to make him favourite, not against Kohlschreiber who can hold his serve very surely and more than that Karlovic's return is not very good. Beside serve, Kohlschreiber is a better player who can play very aggressive not let the opponent the chance to breathe.
