  • Bogota Bliss for Bernard Tomic

    Bogota Bliss for Bernard Tomic

    Bernard Tomic

    Bernard Tomic’s recent woes came to an end with a hard-fought victory over Ivo Karlovic to win the final of the Claro Open in Bogota, Colombia.

    The Australian won a final set tiebreak against the huge serving Karlovic to win the second title of his career.

    Tomic had entered the tournament as a wildcard and returns to the Top 100 a few days after being unceremoniously dumped by his IMG management team. His $129,835 will go some way to repairing the damage.

  • Ivo Karlovic Wins Claro Open Colombia, in Bogota

    Ivo Karlovic Wins Claro Open Colombia, in Bogota

    Ivo Karlovic, of Croatia, beat the Colombian Alejandro Falla in the final of the Claro Open Colombia, 6-3, 7-6(4).  The tall Croatian served 16 aces for the match, a hallmark of his game, and a total of 106 for the tournament.

    Karlovic, who was sick for several months with viral meningitis, has only recently started playing again.  Although he bested the local man for the title, it seemed hard for anyone to begrudge him, after his comeback from frightening illness.  Today’s win is his 5th singles title.
