"ljubicic is sick - updates here"

Blake was put on antibiotics today and ljubo has had a fever since the night he got to Madrid. I just hope the other players don't get sick too

OMG really :eek:

Hope they feel better soon :hug:

Uncle Toni is working then... :rolleyes:

Blake was put on antibiotics today and ljubo has had a fever since the night he got to Madrid. I just hope the other players don't get sick too

Oh dear... I don't want to see any puking on court this week! :devil:

Bullshit. Ljubicic didn't have a fever.

If he did, he would have lost 0, 0.

What a load of :bs: :haha: Ljubo really is a whiner :awww:

Ljubo isn't sick...he is still reeling from the ass kicking he got today. Bend over Ljubo!!! :yeah: :smash:

sources??????????

...and Blake had the chance to win but didn't serve it out...can't blame defeat on illness there either. :wavey:

Blake was put on antibiotics today and ljubo has had a fever since the night he got to Madrid. I just hope the other players don't get sick too

oh please shut the fuck up, just admitt it was a bad day and that Ljubo sucked today!

:yawn:

Blake choked, he has to work on his physical toughness and grind some wins through pain.


:rolleyes: Ljubo had fever! C'mon Croat123, you taking over Ivan Ljubibitch's mantle :o Did you really feel obliged to give an excuse :rolls: :lol: :haha: :sobbing: Pretty lame attempt i gotta say.

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at that excuse

To Croatards here! :wavey: Or to whoever said Blake was on antibiotics. :D

"Obviously my preparation wasn't great after making the final in Stockholm," said Blake.

"It's a fine line between having lots of confidence and being here longer to get used to the courts and the altitude.

"But I'm not making excuses and Vliegen played a great game. I don't think I could have played the game any differently tactically."

Haha at first I thought the title of this thread was "Blake and Ljubicic both suck" :lol:

oh please shut the fuck up, just admitt it was a bad day and that Ljubo sucked today!

ljubo played good but murray was very good today,its not easy to win 50 points tournament and play masters next week, something blake and davydenko would probably also agree with.

Haha at first I thought the title of this thread was "Blake and Ljubicic both suck" :lol:

:lol: :lol: So did I

So is this not true, or is it?

To Croatards here! :wavey: Or to whoever said Blake was on antibiotics. :D

Both sick in the head.

:haha: i was wondering how long a croat came away with the 'ljubo was injured or sick' line after he lost

only ppl sick as a dog today are the croat fans around here who boasted that King Ljubo would destroy muzza with his left hand

Both sick of people claiming they don't belong in the top ten.

:haha: i was wondering how long a croat came away with the 'ljubo was injured or sick' line after he lost

only ppl sick as a dog today are the croat fans around here who boasted that King Ljubo would destroy muzza with his left hand

No excuses for 'tards, especially to the most obnoxious Croatian ones... but they were not the only ones who believed this to be an easy job for Ljubo. Just check the poll, most ppl thought it should have been a 2 set victory for him.

I didn't vote, because I had gut feeling Andy might win. He was breaking Federer all over the place in Canada and I thought, if he catched the same rhythm, Ljubo was going down.

But, you should separate 'tardness of fans from the reality of the player. It is not common for Ivan to have 1st serve percentage of under 50% and almost a two digit number of double faults. I don't know what the reason for that was, it might have been just a bad day but also it could have been some sort of mild nausea or whatever. Why do all the haters automatically yell 'excuses! excuses!' the instant they hear something like that? I had pretty nasty stomach ache this morning but I went to work anyway, as it wasn't enough a reason to stay in bed. The same holds true for tennis players. They usually play matches even if they don't feel 100% well - ATP is not WTA, as we all know. It's all part of the game; if you aren't feeling well, it's not your opponent's fault; but it doesn't mean that it must be a total fabrication to serve as a lame excuse. It might just be true - we don't know. I don't know, you don't know. But if Ljubo himself says he wasn't feeling well, I believe him - because I didn't get the impression he had problems telling the truth, no matter what.

:sad:

illness my arse. Embarrassment more like that he couldn't live up to his 'indoor king' reputation.

suddenly lost his Mojo :rolls:

w'l see how all of you are going to talk about Ljubo when he makes at least the final of Shanghai

Did they specify what type of illness?

L'Équipe says it's a viral infection (throat). He has a high temperature and is forced to rest for 10 days ("une infection virale à la gorge. Sujet à de fortes fièvres, il est contraint à un repos forcé de 10 jours").

its a pity,he had no points to defend in lyon unlike (now very close to his no3) roddick or nalbandy but will probably be fit for paris. sure he and jj picked up that virus from the same source.

w'l see how all of you are going to talk about Ljubo when he makes at least the final of Shanghai
:yawn:

Get well soon Ivan :hug:

Tony....

Yeah he may be ill but Muzza was going to kick his ass anyway.

Bend over Ljubo!

:wavey:

Tony....

;) jj and ljubo were in nadals half so it makes perfect sense.

It's true. He is sick. GET WELL IVAN! :worship:

Smart move.

Get well :)

w'l see how all of you are going to talk about Ljubo when he makes at least the final of Shanghai

That's a bold statement, especially if he gets out of the group and draws federer in the semis.....

L'Équipe says it's a viral infection (throat). He has a high temperature and is forced to rest for 10 days ("une infection virale à la gorge. Sujet à de fortes fièvres, il est contraint à un repos forcé de 10 jours").

Strange, Pim Pim also pulled out due to throat illness.:confused: What's going on in Madrid.

I have a feeling Berdrych might be coming down with something within the next 12 hours ;)

w'l see how all of you are going to talk about Ljubo when he makes at least the final of Shanghai

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolls: :rolls:

only if he gets 4 walkovers

Seems to be a lot of it around right now. Blake was complaining about it earlier this week, I gather, Joachim Johansson has withdrawn because of it and now Ljubo's on the sicklist too.

I hope all are well again for Paris and Shanghai (those who need to be)

I think that the Ljubicic doesn't go for Masters Cup, I would be very good if it wasn't. I tired to see that mediocre one to be top-5.

I think that the Ljubicic doesn't go for Masters Cup, I would be very good if it wasn't. I tired to see that mediocre one to be top-5.

If Ljubicic is mediocre, what is Sarjetta??? :haha:

Go learn about tennis, boy.

Strange, Pim Pim also pulled out due to throat illness.:confused: What's going on in Madrid.

The tournament is being fixed for Nadal. Next illness: Berdych, then Federer and Safin will fall ill too.

Blake has also pulled out of Lyon with tonsilitis.

And some idiots were saying those things were just excuses... yeah, good shot!

illness my arse. Embarrassment more like that he couldn't live up to his 'indoor king' reputation.

Yeah yeah. Whatever.

Lisnard = scot-killa :haha:

Tony....

Are we crediting Uncle Toni with infecting Rafi's half of the draw with tonsilitis now? Man, he's TALENTED. :rolleyes:

Atleast now he can stay at home until Paris, and recieve dickslaps from his shemale wife.

There's a positive aspect to every situation. Just follow the light.

And some idiots were saying those things were just excuses... yeah, good shot!

Nice try, indeed. Being a medical biologist myself, I can tell that virusses like that can really spread FAST - and even harder among tired professional athletes than among ordinary people.
So give these lads a break, people. :rolleyes:

Get well soon Ivan :hug:

Not surprised. He looked like he was gonna die yesterday against Murray.

Well,get well

Love you Ivan

God that sucks.

I'd rather have a heart attack than tonsilitis, it's torture. I think I remember him having it before, he should get them removed. Chronic tonsilitis is about the worst there is.

No excuses for 'tards, especially to the most obnoxious Croatian ones... but they were not the only ones who believed this to be an easy job for Ljubo. Just check the poll, most ppl thought it should have been a 2 set victory for him.

But if Ljubo himself says he wasn't feeling well, I believe him - because I didn't get the impression he had problems telling the truth, no matter what.

Ivan said that he wasn't feeling well, that's true! Also said that he was moving slowly probably because of it and didn't serve well! But I don't know about Blake!

:(

he had an allegric reaction to the antibiotics he took in madrid. paris is almost definately out of the question and maybe the masters

source: sportnet.hr

U jebote! How's that that his doctors didn't know what medications is he allergic to?!?

Here is the full article in Croatian.

http://sportnet.hr/index.aspx?page=news&id=318907

Nakon što je iznenađujuće zapeo već na prvoj prepreci turnira iz Masters serije u Madridu od Britanca Murraya, treći tenisač svijeta Ivan Ljubičić zbog zdravstvenih problema mogao bi propustiti i naredni veliki turnir..."Ljubu" je u Madridu shrvala viroza, povišena temperatura i mučnina potjerale su ga s terena u krevet. Od subote još nije trenirao, a vjerojatno će se oporavljati i mirovati sve do kraja ovog tjedna, što će dovesti pod znak pitanja nastup u Parizu, na posljednjem turniru iz Masters serije ove sezone.

"Na prinudnom sam odmoru do subote, uhvatila me alergija na antibiotike koje sam uzeo u Madridu. Nisam se još oporavio pa je Pariz pod upitnikom, ne želim ništa riskirati", izjavio je najbolji hrvatski tenisač.

Eventualno propuštanje Pariza neće puno značiti glede plasmana na Masters u Šangaju, jer je "Ljubo" nastup na završnom turniru već osigurao, može eventualno izgubiti poziciju trećeg igrača svijeta. Ipak, desetak dana bez pravog treninga i iscrpljenost organizma mogli bi mu stvoriti probleme i u Šangaju.

Nadajmo se da će se "Ljubo" ipak maksimalno oporaviti do 12. studenog i početka Mastersa u Šangaju.

oh crap, now this means Tommy Robredo will deifnitely qualify for the masters :rolleyes:

Sucks for Ljubo, hope he gets better soon :sad:

Hope he can make it to Shanghai.

Really?!! He could take 3 weeks to recover from an allergic reaction?!!

:sad: Get better soon Ivan :yeah:

Well if this is true, ironically this might pave the way for Ancic to make it to Shanghai if he does well at St. Pete and Paris.

As croat said Bercy is unlikely, but hope he can make Shanghai and I'd rather Ancic there than Boredo.

Hopefully this will help Baghdatis make the TMC if Ljubicic pulls out.

I wonder what his ranking will drop to if he misses both Paris and Shanghai.

i just can't beleive this....fucking...WTF ARE YOU DOING LJUBICIC? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:! !! HE IS A PUSSY!fucking allergy....BULLSHIT! play the fucking AMS PARIZ or stay in bed for the rest of the year....you will just imbarrase yourself at Shanghai...IF YOU HAVE ANY MOTIVATION LEFT IN YOU;PREPARE YOURSELF PROPERLY FOR NEXT SEASON!!!!!!

He really can't play in Paris? :sobbing:

He really can't play in Paris? :sobbing:

BULLSHIT! he can play...he don't want to play :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Because he is nuts....he doesn't think about 350 points...just tell me HOW THE HELL HE CAN BE READY FOR TMC?HOW :mad: ? a

i understand he can't play paris, but i would have thought he'd have enough time to recover before shanghai

i understand he can't play paris, but i would have thought he'd have enough time to recover before shanghai

he can play both....he doesn't want to....he become a new Henman..so pathetic....just retire if don't want to play...

Really?!! He could take 3 weeks to recover from an allergic reaction?!! weird innit :confused:

i remember at RG one year in a QF corretja had a bad turn from medication for something and ended up getting mauled by Meligeni.. winning about 2 games.

BULLSHIT! he can play...he don't want to play :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Because he is nuts....he doesn't think about 350 points...just tell me HOW THE HELL HE CAN BE READY FOR TMC?HOW :mad: ? a

I don't understand why are you so angry and call my post "bullshit"? :yawn:

I still believe even though he is in bad form,he won't hide.He needs pts to Shanghai,so why hide?

he can play both....he doesn't want to....he become a new Henman..so pathetic....just retire if don't want to play...

why wouldn't he want to play the masters cup?!

he become a new Henman..so pathetic....just retire if don't want to play...:lol:
tim has decided to play some tennis again and put the golf clubs away, but NOT! trying to Qualie for paris is :o

Oh this is realy bad news, I didn't expect this at all!
Maybe he shouldn't have played in Madrid!:shrug:

why wouldn't he want to play the masters cup?!

Why?Because he needs a few bageles to wake him up

weird innit :confused:

i remember at RG one year in a QF corretja had a bad turn from medication for something and ended up getting mauled by Meligeni.. winning about 2 games.

Yes, Corretja looked like a ghost and RG was his for the taking that year and he had a bad allergic reaction.

That's the thing, they don't always know what is in all the medications and there might have been just the one ingridient that triggered it.

Now,i perfectly know how Moya,Henman,PHM fans feel...

No big loss. :)

Maybe he's scared of facing a rejuvenated Andy. :p

Maybe he's scared of facing a rejuvenated Andy. :p

Yeah right! :rolleyes: What a stupid tought! Why would Ljubo be scared of Andy? :confused:

:sad:

On the up side, maybe this somewhat increases Berdych's chances for qualifying and he will be placed in the same group as Nadal :devil:

Ljubo...:rolleyes: I don't want to see Robredo...

Ljubicic still has more talent in his little finger than Boredo has so hopefully he will still make it. Berdych too.

three weeks :eek: Wow. That really hit him hard. Can anyone translate the article? Allergic reactions can be really dangerous :scared:

Doesn't Berdych have to defend Paris?

:sad:

On the up side, maybe this somewhat increases Berdych's chances for qualifying and he will be placed in the same group as Nadal :devil:

:lol:
Together with Blake. :devil:

I remember Haas not being able to play for several weeks this year due to an allergy.

ATP Race

1 Federer 1474
2 Nadal 854
3 Ljubicic 479
4 Roddick 463
5 Davydenko 445
6 Nalbandian 427

seems that even persons who call themselfs croat dont know the language:rolleyes:
it isn´t mentioned he wouldnt play masters, it´s just that his form will be doubtful without 10 days of practice
it was just a journalist comment
ivan never said masters is in doubt
learn croatian croat and stop spreading falese roumors

Thanks for that s.m.

I just thought that the whole article should be published that is all, so I just did that.

seems that even persons who call themselfs croat dont know the language:rolleyes:
it isn´t mentioned he wouldnt play masters, it´s just that his form will be doubtful without 10 days of practice

learn croatian croat and stop spreading falese roumors

so he won't be able to defend the Paris Bercy final, right?

So everyone was getting their knickers in a twist for nothing? :lol:

so thats where Robredo went to after he lost in Madrid :o

so he won't be able to defend the Paris Bercy final, right?

only fact is that he won´t play lyon
pariz is obviously now in doubt ( ivan himself said that in the article ), especially in the context that he qualified for masters
as far as i understand, withdrawing from shanghai is not even an issue right now

Darn.:lol: i hate to wish anyone ill, but i can't really say i would miss ljubo,
i might even enjoy his absence:p

Too bad. Hope he makes it to Shanghai.

An allergic reaction can kill you, let alone making you stop playing tennis for three weeks!

I hope Ljubo has a nice recover!

same thing happened to me a few years ago...really bad attack, had to go to the hospital with a bad fever and all...but I was home that night and back to my old self within a couple of days. This would in no way keep him from the Masters if he wants to play.

Oh God :rolleyes: ... Get well soon Ivan :hug:

Doesn't Berdych have to defend Paris?sure.. but defending points from 2005 dont come into it for champiosn race points in 2006, Berdy is still a long way from making the top8 anyway.. he'd probably need to win Paris again.

Hope Ivan feels better soon. I really hope he makes it to Shanghai.

Too bad. Hope he makes it to Shanghai.

I think Robredo's early loss in St. Petersburg guarantees that Ljubicic (and Roddick) qualify for Shanghai.

:sobbing: :sobbing: The allergic reactions to the antibiotics can kill you and if it do not, it weaken you extremely. :sad: :sad: :sad: :sobbing:

Bad news for Ivan but good for Gonzo.

Now,i perfectly know how Moya fans feel...so, how do we feel :shrug: :confused:


*just curious*:p

so, how do we feel :shrug: :confused:


*just curious*:p

well,he's pretty bad at the momment...i think his fans aren't too happy wright now

he had an allegric reaction to the antibiotics he took in madrid. paris is almost definately out of the question and maybe the masters

source: sportnet.hr

Couldn't he get over the effects by December?

I may not be a fan, but I really hope he makes it to Shanghai.

For once, can we please have all the top 8 healthy.

That's really bad... now Boredo will make the TMC... NOOOO!

:sad:

On the up side, maybe this somewhat increases Berdych's chances for qualifying and he will be placed in the same group as Nadal :devil:

Yeah Ron, would you like for MTF to explode? ;)
Thank God Berdy won't make it. :angel:

http://www.vecernji-list.hr/newsroom/sports/more/660477/index.do

ivan again dosen´t say anything about questionable masters
he will probably skip paris, because he dosen´t want to risk shanghai which is the pinnacle of the year for him, and the most important tournament of the season
if he dosen´t play in pariz, he will go to china couple of days earlier than planned
about 7 days before the tournament

That's really bad... now Boredo will make the TMC... NOOOO!:devil: :nerner: ;)

well,he's pretty bad at the momment...i think his fans aren't too happy wright nowhmmm well you got that one wrong.....sorry....not how I feel.

That's really bad... now Boredo will make the TMC... NOOOO!

I expect you would set the alarm to ensure that you do not miss Nadal vs. Robredo if they play.:lol: :lol: :lol:

ivan will play TMC :wavey:

i bet Ivan is just getting his excuses in early for the TMC defeats.

day1: wins 6-2 6-2 "i play great, no one can break me"
day3:loss 3-6 3-6 "i am ill, unwell, did not recover"

:p

i bet Ivan is just getting his excuses in early for the TMC defeats.

day1: wins 6-2 6-2 "i play great, no one can break me"
day3:loss 3-6 3-6 "i am ill, unwell, did not recover"

:haha: :haha:

As much as I cant stand Ljubijoke and his outrageous tards, I would much rather have him there than Robredo.


Phew, that was tough to say :awww:

Good news for Ljubicic that is sick of an antibiotic alergic reaction
:sad:
:o
:sobbing:

and for Roddick that is injured of his ankle

:sobbing:
:unsure:
:timebomb:
:speakles:

Ljbuicic would be the man to beat federer if he could show the form he showed in Vienna.

fuck
a blood analysis showed extreme exhaustion. he will take a few more days off and then resume training
this sucks :mad:

this is Lubo's last year as a major force on the tour anyway. What is he, 28 now? A shame he never did anything in the Grand Slams.

his tank seems empty just like mine

I'm getting sick to hear it :o

poor Ivan...hope he feels better soon!!!

Ivan :sad:

the question is: would he have still pushed for it if his place wasn't secured yet in the TMC?

He hasn't pulled out

He hasn't pulled out

he will, he said he want to focus on Shanghai. too bad he will losse a lot off points

but at least a year later he has nothing to defend!

As long as he makes the TMC.

As long as he makes the TMC.

he already made it :)

He hasn't pulled out

yes he did
today afternoon

Only Ljubicic fans give 24/7 health updates.

Only Ljubicic fans give 24/7 health updates.

only ivan gives a live injury update on national tv news:)

Hope he gets better soon and is able to play Shanghai.

DO YOU ALL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH READING?HE SAID SHANGHAI IS NOT IN DANGER...HE'LL MISS PARIS :mad: ,BUT HE'LL BE READY FOR TMC

poor ljubicic. i hope he gets well soon.
what exactly happened?

Allergic reaction to some medicines :mad:

DO YOU ALL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH READING?HE SAID SHANGHAI IS NOT IN DANGER...HE'LL MISS PARIS :mad: ,BUT HE'LL BE READY FOR TMC
breathe in ............... and breathe out............ :rolls:

breathe in ............... and breathe out............ :rolls:

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

He's not training yet,and blod analysis aren't promising...... :sad: :mad: :help:

Source?

Source?

Official website,and local newspeappers

Source?

Dunno but he is from Croatia, so I wouldn't suspect him to be wrong.

So is gonzalez in if Ljubicic doesnt go? now that ancic lost?

Is he still sick? Gosh, that's awful.

If that is the case Blake's chances are looking good even if he does not directly qualify.

He'll miss or he'll be totaly unready.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Ljubo will play Shanghai

Which is it? I need a source...

So is gonzalez in if Ljubicic doesnt go? now that ancic lost?

No, Ancic is still better than Gonzalez.

that's what it says on his homepage.....

Ivan još nije krenuo s treninzima uoči Masters Cupa u Šangaju. Vratio se u Monte Carlo iz Montecatinija, ali još uvijek mora odmarati. Naime, svaka dva dana vadi krv, analize ne nude dovoljno dobre vijesti da bi se mogao vratiti treninzima. Ivan planira krenuti s laganim radom tek u subotu. Do tada ima pravo samo na odmor.

pity that i don't speak croatian and the english part of the page isn't updated....

Oh well, at least we won't have to go through the painful procedure of watching him choke in a major tournament.

He's not training yet,and blod analysis aren't promising...... :sad: :mad: :help:

A real Ljubo fan would now that he is going to train tommorow and that he will be in Shanghai!!:wavey:

Ljubičić: Nisam ni blizu treninga

Od poraza protiv Andyja Murraya u Madridu prošlo je 17 dana, a Ivan Ljubičić još je u stanju mirovanja.

- Odmaram se, nisam ni blizu povratka treninzima.

Alarmantna poruka uoči Masters Cupa.

- Ne, neću propustiti Šangaj. Krećem u ponedjeljak, ondje sam u utorak.

Ivanova svakodnevica su laboratorijske pretrage. Pretvorio se u “prisilnog davatelja krvi”.

- U subotu ću napraviti još jedan nalaz. Ako slika bude zadovoljavajuća, počet ću s laganim naporima. No, prije Šangaja sigurno neću moći trenirati punim intenzitetom. Ovo mi je dobra škola. Od sljedeće sezone moram promijeniti neke stvari.

oh no :sad:

Get well soon Ljubo!!

monday whatever, thing is he will go to Shanghai and he will win!!!:)

Geez, what is it? Is he going or not?

- Odmaram se, nisam ni blizu povratka treninzima.

Alarmantna poruka uoči Masters Cupa.

- Ne, neću propustiti Šangaj. Krećem u ponedjeljak, ondje sam u utorak.

Ivanova svakodnevica su laboratorijske pretrage. Pretvorio se u “prisilnog davatelja krvi”.

- U subotu ću napraviti još jedan nalaz. Ako slika bude zadovoljavajuća, počet ću s laganim naporima. No, prije Šangaja sigurno neću moći trenirati punim intenzitetom. Ovo mi je dobra škola. Od sljedeće sezone moram promijeniti neke stvari.

- Ne, neću propustiti Šangaj. Krećem u ponedjeljak, ondje sam u utorak.

Care to translate, perhaps, huh?

It says he will not miss shanghai and will leave monday and arrive tuesday in Shanghai

i just emailed Ivan...ill know soon :wavey:

Isn't Shanghai still two weeks away? I think Ivan will still go.

monday whatever, thing is he will go to Shanghai and he will win!!!:)

Hope so

It says he will not miss shanghai and will leave monday and arrive tuesday in Shanghai

Which is precisely why I discredited TFC's first post :lol:

A pointless thread...I mean Shanghai is at least 10 days away. He could still make it, albeit a little unprepared.

He will go and play...even losing 3 matches...will get him 200k.

He will go and play...even losing 3 matches...will get him 200k.Nope.

90k
:p

Ljubicic made too high gamble in last two seasons with his health has not listed to his body and must pay the ticket now like other who play too much and three weeks in following

Ivan will be the new Coria :lol:

ivan yet to start with trainings for masters cup in shanghai.
came back to monte carlo from Montecatini but is still just resting with every second day blood analysis that still doesnt give good prospects for trainings.ivans plan is to start with easer training on saturday.
there will be no full intensity trainings before shanghai for ljubo and he said that it was good lesson and some things needed to be changed next season.

Ljubicic made too high gamble in last two seasons with his health has not listed to his body and must pay the ticket now like other who play too much and three weeks in following

:lol: you dumbass..how about you find out how he got sick....has nothing to do with playing a lot in the last 2 years.

ljubo is supposed to start practice today if his blood test comes out fine...
he'll be ready

Hope it does come out fine and he is good to go. :)

True.

Ivan will be the new Coria :lol:

:fiery: IT'S NOT FUNNY!! :mad:

Hope you're wright.

Today he said that he WILL GO to Shanghai,even with 1 leg,but he doesn't know how will the body react after his first match,and that's a problem.Hope he won't retire after first match

He started training today :woohoo:,he goes to Shangai on Monday,he feels fine :D

He will defo play,no chance of him missing shanghai.He never misses majors or big events,even if he is injured he will go out deal with the pain and grind it out and play some class tennis.

:yawn:

Shanghai is now turning to be a joke. GSM Federer :yawn:

I wouldn't miss him.
Would anyone?

Great. Ljubo fans already have an excuse lined up for him when he loses: "He was sick! He didn't have enough time to train! He felt bad because no one likes him!"

Hope the best for him, but I also hope his fans won't flaunt shit excuses either.

On the contrary! He should feel pretty good about himself. He has a clothing sponsor! ;)

Well,its true.He was sick,and he's not 100% at the moment,but he'll play.Maybe he will be ready(he think's so),and if not,excuse is:"I was sick".And he was,17 days,no training.Hope,he'll be ready.The surface is good for him,he's fresh and motivated.

Please withdraw Ivan!! I want Mario to play YEC.

this thread is useless! he will play for sure. he is not 100% fit now but he
will be. But if he doesnt perform well he has already an excuse:)
I doubt that anybody will miss shanghai this year. Unfotunately for Mario:eek:

he goes to Shangai on Monday

...I hope he told his wife he'll be back by the following Friday ;) :devil:

Please withdraw Ivan!! I want Mario to play YEC.

Yes yes yes!! Exactly!

ancic....sik...bad play..federer..weak preparation...:confused:

no

I hope he makes a wise decision.

I'd like him to continue playing because he earned his place there with some strong performances earlier in the year...and it is a shame that illness has been hampering him.

But health is most important...and whilst he has probably seen the peak of his career, it would be foolish to discount him from qualifying for the Masters Cup one more time. There's always next year.

i'm afraid that this is his last Shanghai because he has a lots of points to defend but he's always sick so i don't see him coming next year to Shanghai

The Race isn't about defending points mate... ;)

He needs to start next season well undoubtedly...and he will be top 8 so his seeding should help him out a little.

I don't expect him to qualify again either...but it would be foolish to expect that as he is an indoor monster and can rack up huge points this time next year...and he is quite good on all other surfaces, and is still a threat on grass.

Stop being so negative :lol: The time to worry is when Henman beats him or Murray bagels him :devil: :fiery: :help:

You have done this enough haven't you? When Ljubo wins he is the greatest ever besides Federer and when he loses it's a disaster and he is losing to Berlocq indoors. Look at Raver for what I am talking about.

He has to do what is best for him.

:retard: :smash:

The reason why he's playing like this is because he was sick,and he 's far form 100% ready.

If he is healthy: no

It's 3 set matches with a day off at this tournament - it's about as light as it gets for the players.

I hope he's able to continue and at least play out the RR - I *hate* substitutions mid-RR - it makes the whole thing bloody meaningless.

Lol, poor Carlos :lol:

if ljubicic withdraws ancic, a thoroughly weaker player, gets in and that would result in easier games for federer and nalbandian

i'm afraid that this is his last Shanghai because he has a lots of points to defend but he's always sick so i don't see him coming next year to Shanghai

My prediction is none of the 8 players in Shanghai this year will be back there next year.

uhh Roger and Nadal?

uhh Roger and Nadal?

Yes, Neither of them will be in Shanghai next year.

Ivan Ljubicic is going to take a blood-test, and if it would be bad, Ljubicic would whitdraw, and give Mario Ancic chance. If blood-test would be good for Ivan, than he would play against Nalby and Fed. So i heard.

Frankly I'm disturbed that you guys seem to have access to Ivan's doctors and blood-test schedule. :scared:

Whatever Ivan's problem is I hope he can recover from it quickly. Andy misses his sandbox mate. :sad:

or access to interviews :)

He doesnt want to get embarrased by David or Roger

He's fine, he's just using this as an excuse for losing to Roddick.

ok, what exactly is the blood test going to prove? that he's O+?

speaking of excuse's...i bet you got a book load already for later on today. :wavey:

:lol:

I thought he already had the bloody test last week.

:rolls: well you're only 12.

Let's hope Blake sucks more than his fellow American, eh?

:rolls: well you're only 12.

well I guess you dont know either then

:lol:

ljubo should have withdraw if he is sick ...

ljubo should have withdraw if he is sick ...

You aren't in this,are you? He is not sick anymore,understand? Today,his blood analysis are even better than before the Roddick match.He is not fit after 3 weeks off,because he was training only 4 days before the tournamnet.That's all! :o

and it's not nice to wish bad luck to ancic's mate....Ancic doesn't want Ljubo to withdraw.But you do.

Ok ok Peace::: i like ljubo (even if I prefer Mario) I hadn't read that the analysis were ok... I am happy for ivan even if you don't believe me!! i know that mario don't want that ivan withdraw i am not stupid!
Mario will be in Shangai next year in the official list and there will be no problem!!!
I have nothing against ivan !!! I wanted that mario play, ok, but i know that the others are better this year... but next year Mario will be in shangai! he can do it! he proved it this year!

good luck to ivan against nalbandian I hope he will win he can do it!

back off ljubo
if he were sick , u wouldnt want people to call u a liar & think ur faking it
beside as long as he plays, no one would care.
hope he feels better for his second match
