- He was serving great second serves....probably second to Federer at the moment. Clutch serving was phenomenal.

- He picked apart both Nadal and Djoko with great shots, timely net rushes and absolutely wonderful 1H BH down the lines.

- What he lacked in speed, he made up for in shot selections and simply out smart the competition.

- Roddick was never in it - in my opinion. Lubicic was the aggressor in this one and made Rod look like a pusher at times.


I give all the credit to Lubicic. Well done, Congrats!


In the Djokovic match he was really struggling, at like 4-3 djokovic played a terrible game, made a few errors, gifted ljubicic a bp, then netted an easy BH after he had won the point,
At 4-4 djokovic had 15-40, 2nd serve, 80 MPH serve to Backhand with minimal spin, Djokovic puts too much on and longs it. At 5-6 he played more bvad points gifting a bp, djokovic gave ljubo the upper hand in the rally andljubo in fairness took advantage with nice volleys.

Not at all. It's always bugged me a little when people dismiss a tournament victory with comments about an easy draw, or his opponent was off etc... Who's to say he wouldn't have still won if he played all the top 5 guys at their very best? He was the best at the tournament that week, that's all there is to it.

Sheng Long :P

I remember when EGM magazine ran an April Fool's joke that fooled A LOT OF PEOPLE, saying they found a way to find and play Sheng Long in SF2.

Some people probably went insane trying it because the method they listed was insanely hard

:oops: Sorry, I didn't know how to spell that, so I googled....google corrected my spelling to what you see above :?

On topic:

I agree for the most part with article below. I always thought of Lubicic as a cool guy, Very talented tennis head on his shoulders....and the only thing limiting him from becoming #1 (for a few weeks, month) was his speed.

One more time, Congrats Ivan! 100000% Deserved title. I am 31 y/o as well, and I can tell you...this is not easy. I can barely last 2 hours in a semi-competitive match with my wife...let alone beating Nadal-Djoker-Roddick :shock:
