I still can’t understand why the majority of the forum refuses to recognize the importance of Davis Cup. Apart from Grand Slam, it is the greatest achievement one can reach during career. It can’t be compared to Masters, not even GS majors; Winning DC is something every player in the world is dreaming of. Roger Federer once said that winning Davis Cup is his greatest goal.

So, you must admit that this board doesn’t give enough credit to players like Ljubo or Mario, and they definitely deserved it; they achieved something Federer and especially Djokovic never will.

So think about that when you next time start one of yours GOAT threads.

Davis Cup is nice to have.

It is not, in any stretch of the imagination, the main yardstick by which tennis greatness is evaluated.

That is the Grand Slams, and for someone with as much ability as Ljubicic, on that measure his record is appalling.

Are you implying that Ljuba Truba should be put in the GOAT mix because of his DC win ?

Gosh, we reach a new level of tardism here...

 

[RagingLamb]

sure winning DC is nice.

but there's something about it that just doesn't capture the imagination.
It's the fact that we're trying to create a team sport out of an individual sport, or maybe it's something else.

but for some reason, it's tough to embrace it. at least for me.

No, I imply that player without DC win shouldn't be there.

He's a mug.

Hope this helps.

DC is a team event. If Sampras (or Ljubo for the matter) came from, say, Liechtenstein, I wonder how he would have managed to win it... :scratch:

 

[Deboogle!.]

Your thread title is "not enough credit for Ljubo" - what does one thing have anything to do with the other? Ljubicic got plenty of credit for what he did in 2005 to win the Cup. Your opinion that people shouldn't be considered GOAT without a DC title is wholly irrelevant to the credit for Ljubicic gets for anything :lol:

Mugdatis, Muggay, Ljubo, Chela...

Is there a player who wasnt ever called a mug here?
Nadal is a clay mug :tape: and Federer a grass mug :tape:
:haha:

 

[Corey Feldman]

You're a mug Matyaz.

Ljuber needs to "consolidate" if you will, or BACK UP, his DC performance with some solid GS results in order to make it seem like it wasn't a complete fluke. Other than that, Ljubicic has completely folded on the big stages.

and there's no reason to think he'll ever turn it around at the Majors

 

[Blue Heart24]

Ljubo_rulz :yeah:

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

he's nearly 30 and he's been to 2nd week of slams less times than i have fingers on 1 hand.

he did, after winning DC, next year he made it to QF and SF in AO and RG

 

[El Legenda]

he was 27 when the season started, i know you're in idiot, but for him to be nearly 30, he would need to be 29 now and 30 next month....:wavey:

 

[Dimonator133]

big deal, he was No. 3 in the world for quite some time. Those results mean nothing. SF of French was impressive, but that's it.

big deal
he's past his sell by date :devil:

he's had his one shittler moment

He must be the only Top-3 (or even Top-5?) player in history with negative win-loss record at Grand Slams.
