Ivan Ljubicic def. R. Ramirez-Hidalgo 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2

well done clay court god Ivan :yeah: :D

Ivan:bounce: Awesome win, keep it up man:D!!!

Second QF in a Slam in a row for Ivan...Not too bad for someone who didn't make it past the third round in his 25 first Slam appearances ;)

Tooooo LJUBOOOOO !!!!!!!!
Ajmoo dalje!!

Ljubo - Benneteau, QF of RG. Oh dear.
I'm suddendly rooting for Yvan.

Big chance for a semi, Julien B. is manageable.

Ivan was obviously suffering from very low confidence and self-esteem earlier in his career. I bet winning that charming wife of his played a big part in his transformation to what he is now. :angel:

That and a reeeeeaaaly easy draw. :devil:

fast court players take over the dirt.......well done ljubman

Croatia has more quarterfinalist then Argentina and Spain. We are new claycourt kings :haha:

That and a reeeeeaaaly easy draw. :devil:

He probably sold his soul to the devil to get that draw :haha:

Ivan :yeah:

Ruben :awww: :hug:

Yes you are! :D

And is anyone going to say anything about Ivan's results in Slams this year? ;)

Great job by Ljubo. Finally living up to his talent and seedings, especially at the most important tournaments. Most definitely, heading to Shanghai again. Hope he gets to the semis for the first time. That would be nice. Good luck the rest of the way.

:woohoo: he took advantage of a good draw. every player he's played has been a clay court specialist, but ljubo was able to fight his way through. hopefully he can get at least one more win in

:rolleyes:

I was JOKING Sonia ;)

Spain will always be better than Croatia on clay courts. And Croatia will always have better servers then Spain. This are facts :)

:crying2:

At least Ivan doesn't waste this chance. :bigclap: Good for him! :aparty:
Next round is not easy for him,the whole crowd will cheer for Benneteau,so just focus on the match! :cool:

Ajmooo Ancic & Ljubicic (our stars :D)

It looks that another Balcan boy (Djokovic) will play in the quarterfinal. Ok, now it's clear, tomorrow (6.6.2006.) is the end of the world :haha:

loool :lol: :lol:
Ajmooo Djokovic (Eurosport) :)

Wow , Ivan Doping-cic to QF in a Grand Slam :eek: :eek:

:confused:

It amazes me how quietly Ljubicic has been able to move through this draw. I mean, he's a win over meh..Julien Benneteau away from the French Open semifinals, and I have hardly even thought about him at all.

I don't know if it's that he has 7 more interesting stories in his fellow quarterfinalists, or what, but good God. I was like..."Hey! That number 4 guy Ljubicic!"

It's true!!!!

Great win Ivan :) :) Great that two croats are in the quarters for the first time :)

Congrats Ivan, i thought he would lose today given how tired he looked against Monaco but he came through.

But who is going to win on Sunday. Not a Croat. :lol: :lol: :lol:

:scratch: Nadal

Well done Ivan!!! :bounce:
