He was back around 65% against Cilic in the Final too. So I think a fairly quick turnaround and travel hopefully will just add to a little fatigue. Granted, Karlovic couldn't return most WTA serves efficiently .. so Isner won't have to be totally imposing, but if Karlovic is fit and on - this will put pressure on Isner, I hope.

To be fair Sela returned fairly well in that match and isn't a bad returner. It's tough to tell with Isner and his fitness, 95% of the time he's lumbering around the court like a dead tree. Even the announcers couldn't figure him out vs Sela. One game he'd look dead then the very next game he'd be running down balls, smashing a few winners. He's quite the frustrating player to follow. I feel sorry for anyone who has chosen Isner as one of their favs in life.
