Ljubicic def Becker 6-7 6-4 6-2 6-3 tie: 1-1

:rolleyes: Becker saved 6bps in the first...2 on sp
Ivan was in control rest of the way

Ivan had 17 break chances. (6 breaks)
Becker had 2, both in the first set.
61 winners for Ivan :yeah:

i thought Becker was a huge server? :D

Croatia should win doubles tomorrow :)

Good match from Ljubicic :yeah:

I wanted him to lose, but he was the better player :lol:

the one man team keeps rolling in DC

i dont trust Ancic in the 5th rubber, if this goes that far

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Ancic the one who brought Croatia that DC title 2 yrs ago, in that 5th rubber?

lucky one, ljubo

yes, vs. the allmighty mertinak

although i do trust mario vs. becker in this one...just have to make sure we win the doubles tomorrow

Well, Mario had some experience losing to much lower ranked opponents in finals of MM tourneys. One could think DC final would be even harder for him to win.

lucky one, ljubo

yeah...i thought it was over when he was down 3mps :rolleyes:

well done :worship:

the one i watched in Zagreb last week looked utter shite.

Well, this one at least looked interested in the outcome, unlike the previous one. Was actually trying to catch some dropshots, even winning most of them. :devil:
But still way too many loose forehands :mad: ... I don't get it
