The afternoon semifinal held high drama, where Andy Roddick prevailed over Ivo
Karlovic in two tiebreak sets, both decided by a single-minibreak margin.
Andy's serves carried the greater velocities, up to 151 mph--his fastest in
several years, he said. Ivo's were better angled and carried the advantage of his
6-10 height, so that Ivo won the count of aces, 19-12. An electrifying,
on-the-run backhand passing shot from deep behind baseline gave Andy the penultimate,
and ultimately deciding, point.
