Ivo Karlovic, at age 40, scores win at French Open Globe_Sports

Ivo Karlovic celebrates a point during his first-round match against Feliciano Lopez on day three of the 2019 French Open in Paris on May 28, 2019.Midnight gym sessions were the key to Ivo Karlovic’s French Open preparations.

“It means a lot,” Karlovic said. “It’s in the record books as the oldest one and everything. … Right now, any match I win I’m happy — if it’s against older guys or kids — I just like to win.” Bob and Mike Bryan, who turned 41 last month, beat the Spanish pair of Pablo Carreno Busta and Gerard Granollers in doubles Tuesday for their 20th win in their 20th first-round appearance in Paris.

The advanced age of players has also meant many more kids on tour. All of the Grand Slam tournaments have nurseries for players’ children. “I was with my kids every day,” he said. “It was really, really nice. I’m happy that after my career I will have that every day.”Karlovic hit every day after dropping his daughter off at preschool, then played with his son and rested before his daughter came home and he had to drive her to other activities. Finally, when the kids went to bed at 11 p.m., he could escape to the gym.Lopez also had to limit his clay-court preparation.
