At 6’11”, Karlovic is the tallest player on the ATP Tour. There are no weakness in his serve. He hits for power. He is accurate. He can hit the angle. His height makes it seem like the ball is over the net as soon as he makes contact. Even the best returners in the game find it difficult to get his delivery back in the court.

If you move forward, it is on top of you too quickly. If you back up, he hits the slice and it is unreachable. Those factors lead to an astounding 24.1 ace percentage in 2014. He serves an ace once every four points! It’s no wonder that one of the first things elite players do when a draw comes out is to check where Dr. Ivo has landed. His serve alone makes him a top 20 player and he follows it up with decent net play. When it comes to powerful serves in the game today, Karlovic has no equal.
