Fucking legend.
Three 1/4 finals of MS this year. What a result for Ljubicic.




Now beat the #4.

Anyone beside myself think that he could pull it out????

:worship: Really the Legenda :worship:
3rd Masters Series QF for a 30-year-old, impressive :yeah:

Yeah, all he needed to win the match was to raise his game. Congrats!:worship::worship: Tells you a lot about this era when a semi-retired "worst" number 3 ever can defeat the mugs of top5-10 position.

Fucking legend.

I think he could, but it is unlikely :unsure:

...and he made Simovapcici!

Well done, Ljubo! :worship:

Ljubicic is getting some good results recently. He anywhere close to the top 35?

Now beat the #4.

Anyone beside myself think that he could pull it out????

Definitely. And he won't even have to play his best tennis, because Djokovic needs some rest and will make things easier for him.

wait, what other than monte carlo and this one did he reach QF??

gimme a fucking towel you freaks

I think he could, but it is unlikely :unsure:

of course he can :D

Roger Federer was beat 2 out of 2 clashes by Simon!
:haha:

hahah
O_o

truba ist krieg!

wait, what other than monte carlo and this one did he reach QF??

Indian Wells IIRC

Great for the game.

Ljuba Truba going on a tear from 3-4 40-0 on Simon's serve winning 7 games in a row.

The Ljuba changed his tactics, decided to throw in some slices and some moonballs and he showed up that Simple Simon struggles to generate pace, when he has none to feed off.

Excellent analysis! Ljuba cut out the risks in his game and only went for good shots but not great ones. He played CLAY COURT TENNIS and CUT OUT HIS ERRORS which were giving the match to boring Simon. Ljuba Legenda!!! :worship::worship:

Indian Wells IIRC

whats the IIRC stand for, mate?

What a legend :worship:
This era is too weak for him :lol:

Now beat the #4.

#2! This is a clay court tourney.


Anyone beside myself think that he could pull it out????

Sorry no one in this century.

Roger Federer was beat 2 out of 2 clashes by Simon!
:haha:

That was one year ago, when Simon was on the top of his form.
He has beaten many good players then. He is obviously strugling lately, losing to players he should not lose. But Ljubicic is no one of them.

And there are much more humiliating loses to the top players on the last couple of years .

Towards the end of the 2nd Ljubo fianlly got the memo that you have to make Simon create his own pace to beat him. Instead of going for risky shots and missing, he started giving Simon empty balls to the middle of the court, which Simon couldn't do anything with. He outpushed the pusher.

Fucking great result - Simon is an abomination, he and his ridiculous Wolverine 'do should be out of the top10 asap.

Ljubo's got a shot to take out Djokovic next round too.

Kevin Anderson :haha:

Unsuccess for Ljubicic: he couldn't prevent Simon from losing it!

Seriously. Simon is awful....an even worse Top 10 player than Wawrinka.


Well, they're not quite as bad as Roddick, though :p

whats the IIRC stand for, mate?

If I remember correctly

Excellent analysis! Ljuba cut out the risks in his game and only went for good shots but not great ones. He played CLAY COURT TENNIS and CUT OUT HIS ERRORS which were giving the match to boring Simon. Ljuba Legenda!!! :worship::worship:

I mean he was hitting himself out of the event with the schoolboy errors and wasn't serving that well. So he took a bit off the serve, and then played some heavier shots with less pace, got Simple out of his rhythm and pissed him off.

Then when Ljubo had the right ball to attack for the most part, he made the right decision.

Good for the game as I said before.

Ljubo's got a shot to take out Djokovic next round too.

Don't think so - Ljubo moves like a hippopotamus, unless Djoko stinks up the joint something fierce, he will shred him tomorrow.

Djoko's been sloppy so far. Of course he's the favorite, but it wouldn't be earth-shattering to see Ljubo pull out the upset.

Simon looked like he was on opium or something as he staggered off the court; he was in a state of disbelief.

His trajectory 2008-2009 is very much like Ferrer's 2007-2008. I for one hope that Gilles can turn this around, and going on the glimpses of form shown here we might see it at the FO. If not there then Wimbledon. He just has to put defeats like this behind him and move on.

Now beat the #4.

Anyone beside myself think that he could pull it out????

man,3/3. he didn't play in rome,because of illness

don't call it a comeback :p

In order for it to be a comeback he would actually have to have something to come back too.

It's good to have Ivan winning again, I miss his silly statements to the press.

Ljubicic is the exception of the rule that old people are at best demented and everything they say is a lie.

Amazing, the battle of generations ended as it should. Great win, Ljubo.

Nothing suprising, Ljuba Truba is virtually among 8 best players in the world, and Simon has been a choker since Dubai semifinal ;)

Horror show from Simon. He was playing semi-OK for 1.5 sets, Ljubo was awful, couldn't keep the ball in court. Then a set and a break ahead he blew up at 40-0 on his own serve, Ljubo won 7 games in a row, and that was that. As someone above mentioned, Ljubo reverted to pushing to nice depth, just like he did in their Indian Wells meeting - this is the match I was expecting beforehand, but Ljubo's errors (17 in first 7 games!) prevented him from pulling it off.

Simon has been abysmal recently, but he was under no pressure for a good while. The faintest whiff of pressure, he reverted back to the old.

Says a lot that Simon served really well (10 aces!), against an opponent half-asleep, and managed to lose. Kudos to Ljubo for hanging in there when he had no feel for the ball whatsoever.

Gillou won more points and had more winners than UEs :sad:

Legenda! :worship:

I only saw the first set and Ivan was seemed a bit off making a lot of silly errors. Happy to seem him doing well. Congratulations Ljub! :clap2: I wish some of it would rub off on Marat. :)

Ljubo is so underrated, he's such a great player on clay, people think he's just too old but I think he's still in his best shape and he is capable of beating high ranked players. I wish him the best of luck for the next round.

somewhere TennisFanCroatia is smiling :worship::worship:

pusher simon :mad:

let me quote one member on this board;

"Ljubo in his fifties will still be able to beat these choking mugs like Simon"


Ljubo:yeah:

simon has been as effective as cornet this year....

Simon is a cheese cornetto

The amount of Simon hate on GM :o. Don't hate Gilles because he's beautiful. :cool:

Simon won more points than Ljuba, but from this thread you'd think it was a 6-0 6-0 trouncing. Meanwhile Ljuba's straight-set dismissal of a Tsonga who can't even run on clay without tripping inspires no mockery. Hypocrites.

This loss sucks for Gilles but he did better than in other matches against Ivan.

Ivan's playing smarter and more interesting tennis now than when he was ranked #3. If he can stay fit and schedule well he has a lot left to show.

Thats because Tsonga looks like a lion and Simon looks like pingu

Ljubo was excellent against Tsonga, and entirely deserved to win.

Ljubo was dross today. Simon choked horrendously, then choked some more. Set and 4-2 40-0 up, loses 7 games in a row. Just one faint whiff of pressure and he utterly collapses.

The amount of luck at this cheese ball tournament is getting out of hand :o Simon didn't push in this match :) and Ljub job was definately pushing everything in that last set :lol: The pusher came on top this round,better push in the next round too Ljubby

great result for tennis :worship:

Simon blew this one it was his to lose.

Ljubo in his fifties will still be able to beat these choking mugs like Simon

Simon has been dreadful since Melbourne :o

gsm Bilbo !!!
