Reaching the double hights

Tommy Haas once joked after losing a tight three set match in Washington to John Isner:
"I think the tour should come up with something where they don't let players over 6-foot-6 inches play."
Well, now Tommy must feel relieved knowing he's not playing doubles, 'coz there's double trouble in sight.

John Isner last year while reaching the Washington final served us a new tennis world record. He hit 144 aces in a non-Grand Slam tournament setting a new record.
Now he decided to join another ace-wonder and create the biggest (tallest) double team-up in tennis history with Ivo Karlovic. The Croat with his 6'10" is the tallest player on the ATP-Tour. He was able to hit 1318 aces last year (the most since 1991) and won an astonishing 94 percent of service games!

Now the two serve-killers joined their forces and will be looking for a doubles crown at the Australian Open playing their first round on Wendsday against the argentinian tandem Brzezicki/Calleri.

They may not win the first tournament they play together in, but U can be sure, that they score some wins and may pull a big surprise, while their opponents will struggle to break the wall.
