2 tiebreakers would only guarantee you 26 games. If you're thinking about this bet, I would go over 2.5 sets for +135.
Karlovic is the 2nd worst in the top 150 at returning, while the 2nd best at winning on his serve. New York is known as one of the fastest courts out there, which would seem to favor Ivo and getting to tiebreakers. But his 1st serve percentage is middle of the road. If its off at all, you may not get to any tiebreaks.
Hard match for me to handicap as neither player is in any kind of form either. Ivo is the definition of a one tool player and Thompson is the epitome of mediocre, IMO. No great weapons but doesn't usually beat himself.
Good luck no matter what you do.
