The 7-6 (5), 6-7 (1), 7-6 (4) victory elevates
Gojowczyk into his first career ATP semifinal.
The German had 12 aces while outlasting Karlovic in the
two-hour, 26-minute match.
The second-seeded Karlovic boomed 30 aces but twice fell in
tiebreakers while suffering the disappointing defeat.
"In the end it didn't go my way. That's life, that's tennis.
That's how it goes sometimes," Karlovic said afterward. "I was
not really moving well. ... Serve was good. Volleys were OK so I
have to look at the positives and continue with my journey."
Gojowczyk will face Matthew Ebden of Australia in the
semifinals.
Ebden registered a 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4 win over Tobias Kamke of
Germany. The two-hour, 41-minute victory also puts Ebden in an
ATP semifinal for the first time.
