Ivo Karlovic beat the fading light and Alexandr Dolgopolov to advance after a marathon five-setter at Wimbledon.
The hard-serving Karlovic hit 53 aces in beating the Ukrainian 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (4), 13-11 Thursday to reach the third round at the Grand Slam tournament.
It was the last match to finish for the day, shortly before play would have had to be suspended because of bad light. The Croatian’s victory ensured the entire second round was completed on schedule.
Karlovic will next face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in the third round on Saturday.
