Karlovic reaches semis in rainy Nottingham

Tennis Betting Lines

06/21/2007 - Nottingham, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tall Croat Ivo Karlovic was the lone quarterfinal victor on a rainy Thursday at The Nottingham Open, a final grass-court Wimbledon tune-up.

The 6-foot-10 Karlovic slammed 24 aces on his way to defeating 6-foot-5 Argentine Juan Martin del Potro 7-6 (12-10), 7-5 at The City of Nottingham Tennis Centre.

Karlovic will face Russian Dmitry Tursunov or Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in Friday's semifinals. Garcia-Lopez was leading the second-seeded Tursunov 6-4, 3-6, 2-1 when their match was suspended because of rain.

A bout between top-seeded and two-time defending champion Richard Gasquet and his eighth-seeded fellow Frenchman Arnaud Clement was postponed, while a match between fourth-seeded Swede Jonas Bjorkman and sixth-seeded Frenchman Paul- Henri Mathieu was suspended until Friday, with the veteran Swede leading 1-0 in the first set. The 2006 Wimbledon semifinalist Bjorkman was last year's runner-up here to Gasquet and captured this tournament in 1998 and 2002.

Gasquet is a perfect 12-0 lifetime here.

Three quarterfinals will have to be completed on Friday before the semis can commence.
