{{foreignchars|[[č]] and [[ć]]|Ivan Ljubicic}} {{IPA notice}} ---- {{MedalTop}} {{MedalCountry|{{CRO}}}} {{MedalSport|Men's [[Tennis at the Summer Olympics|Tennis]]}} {{MedalBronze|[[Tennis at the 2004 Summer Olympics|2004 Athens]]|[[Tennis at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Men's Doubles|Doubles]]}} {{MedalBottom}} '''Ivan Ljubičić''' ({{IPA-sh|ǐv̞an ʎûbitʃitɕ|pron}}; born March 19, 1979) is a [[Croatia]]n [[tennis]] player born in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]] (then [[SFR Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]]). His career-high [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] ranking to date has been no. 3, and he stands at no. 37. Tall and powerfully built, he is noted for his strong serve. He has achieved his best results in indoor tournaments played on carpet or hardcourt. Mostly a baseliner, he will approach the net selectively (Ljubičić is a good volleyer and plays doubles occasionally). On his backhand, he can use a slice or a drop-shot to great effect to draw a player or put him out of position. Relying heavily on his serve, he holds well but is a comparatively weak returner, producing many sets ending in tie-breaks. Ljubičić is using the [[Head (company)|Head]] Youtek Extreme Pro Racquet, after using the Babolat Pure Drive for most of his professional career. Ljubičić previously served as the ATP Player Council president and has strongly voiced his opinion on many issues, such as the possible downgrading of current [[ATP World Tour Masters 1000|Masters Series]] tournaments in [[Monte Carlo Masters|Monte Carlo]] and [[Hamburg Masters|Hamburg]]. {{Citation needed|date=September 2007}} Ljubičić and [[Mario Ančić]] are only the second doubles team ever to defeat [[Bob and Mike Bryan]] in [[Davis Cup]] history, the other team being France's [[Arnaud Clément]] and [[Michaël Llodra]]. Ljubičić helped [[Croatia Davis Cup team|Croatia]] win the [[2005 Davis Cup]], where they triumphed over the [[Slovakia Davis Cup team|Slovakian Davis Cup team]] in the final. ==Early years== Ljubičić was born to a [[Bosnian Croat]] father Marko, and a [[Bosniaks|Bosniak]] mother Hazira. He started playing tennis as a child in 1988, and he soon won his first local awards as a junior. In May 1992, because of the [[Bosnian Civil War|war in Bosnia and Herzegovina]], the Ljubičić family left [[Banja Luka]], and Ivan, his mother and his brother moved to [[Opatija]], Croatia, while his father was unable to leave. In November 1992, they were reunited and moved to [[Rijeka]]. Soon after, in April 1993, Ljubičić went to a tennis club in [[Moncalieri]] near [[Torino]], Italy. During the next three years, Ljubičić grew into a promising prospect. He decided to play for Croatia and in 1995 won his first junior championship, becoming the Croatian under-16 champion. The same year, he won his first [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] points and played for the [[Croatian Tennis Association|Croatian team]] in the [[Winter Cup]] (European under-16 indoors championship). Pairing up with [[Željko Krajan]], he won the [[Orange Bowl (tennis)|Orange Bowl]] (the unofficial world under-16 championship). In 1996, the family moved to [[Zagreb]], while Ivan continued his successes. He joined the tennis club [[Mladost (sports society)|Mladost]] and played in more and more junior [[International Tennis Federation|ITF]] tournaments. His biggest success as a junior was the final at [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]], where he was defeated by [[Vladimir Voltchkov]] of [[Belarus]]. He also played in the [[Australian Open]] junior semifinal in 1997 and won the [[Eddie Harre]] tournament, which made him the no. 2 junior in the world. In early 1997, he started training with the Italian professional coach [[Riccardo Piatti]]. His successes continued: quarterfinals of the junior [[French Open]], and entering professional tennis. After a lot of success, Ivan bought a Porsche GT which is, according to Ljubičić "His craziest ever buy". Soon after that, in 2004, Ivan married his wife Aida, who is always with him at ATP tournaments. Their first child, Leonardo, was born December 10, 2008. ===1998–2003=== Ljubičić entered professional tennis in 1998 and played in the final of the [[ATP Challenger Series|ATP Challenger]] in Zagreb, where he lost to [[Alberto Berasategui]]. He played a number of smaller tournaments the same year, but had little success and finished the year as no. 293. In 1999, his luck turned, and he won two [[Futures (tennis)|Futures]] tournaments, as well as a Challenger in [[Besançon]], France. He won two more victories in the qualifications for the [[Casablanca]] Tour event, where he was defeated by [[Juan Carlos Ferrero]]. He then entered the Super 9 tournament in [[Monte Carlo]] (today's [[Monte Carlo Masters]]), where he reached the third round after an amazing run in which he defeated [[Andrei Medvedev]] and [[Yevgeny Kafelnikov]]. He also played in the [[Croatia Open]] in [[Umag]], where he was eliminated only in the semifinal by [[Magnus Norman]]. He finished the year as no. 77. In 2000, Ljubičić played two semifinals, in Sydney and in Båstad, and three quarterfinals (Marseille, Copenhagen, and Brighton). He also played in the third round of the Olympic tournament. He won his first [[Association of Tennis Professionals|ATP]] singles title at [[Lyon]] in 2001, after defeating [[Gustavo Kuerten]], [[Gastón Gaudio]], [[Marat Safin]], and [[Younes El Aynaoui]]. At that point he reached no. 29 in the professional rankings and continued to play well, participating in seven ATP Tour semifinals: Adelaide, Rotterdam, Miami, St. Polten, Gstaad, Umag, Cincinnati. He finished the year 2001 as no. 37. In 2002, he was in two semifinals (Rotterdam and Gstaad) and four quarterfinals (Adelaide, Dubai, Umag, and Tashkent) on the ATP Tour, and it the first time he passed the first round at a [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]], when he reached the third round of the [[Australian Open]], where he was stopped by [[Wayne Ferreira]] in five sets. He ended the year as no. 49, and also no. 2 in the number of [[ace (tennis)|aces]], behind [[Wayne Arthurs (tennis player)|Wayne Arthurs]]. In 2003, he reached the semifinals of Milan, Dubai, Bangkok, and Basel, and also the third round of the [[Monte Carlo Masters]] and the quarterfinals in the Rome Masters. He lost in the second round in the U.S Open to [[Andy Roddick]], who would then go on to become the champion that year. The score was 3-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-7. After the match, he said that if the match had been played anywhere else, he would have won. He also stated that no one in the locker room liked the American. ===2004–2005=== In 2004, he started the year as the runner-up to [[Nicolas Escudé]] in Doha, and also played semifinals in Hamburg Masters, in Indianapolis, and in the Madrid Masters. He also reached the quarterfinals in Basel and 1/8 finals in the Miami Masters. At the [[Tennis at the 2004 Summer Olympics|2004 Olympics]], Ljubičić teamed up with [[Mario Ančić]] to win the bronze medal in doubles, winning against the Indians [[Mahesh Bhupathi]] and [[Leander Paes]], after having been defeated by the [[Chile]]an duo of [[Fernando González]] and [[Nicolás Massú]], the eventual gold medalists, in the semifinals. In 2005, Ljubičić produced markedly better results. He won two ATP titles and was the runner-up at another six, losing to world no. 1 [[Roger Federer]] in three of them, and world no. 2 [[Rafael Nadal]] in another one. Most notably, he reached the finals of two Masters Series Events, losing to Nadal in [[Madrid Masters|Madrid]] and to [[Tomáš Berdych]] at the [[Paris Masters|Paris Indoor Tournament]]. He finished the year ranked no. 9 in the world and earned his first appearance at the year-end [[2005 Tennis Masters Cup|Masters Cup]], where he was eliminated in the group stage (Ljubičić was one of a number of entrants who were invited due to the withdrawal of higher-ranked players, such as no. 2 Rafael Nadal). Ljubičić has also been the top player of the Croatian [[Davis Cup]] team since the departure of [[Goran Ivanišević]]. In Davis Cup 2005, the Croatian team defeated the United States in the first round played in March 2005. Ljubičić defeated [[Andre Agassi]] convincingly in straight sets in his first singles match. He then teamed with [[Mario Ančić]] to defeat the [[The Bryan Brothers|Bryan Brothers]], then the world's second-ranked doubles team. He finally clinched victory for his country, defeating America's no. 1 player and former world no. 1 [[Andy Roddick]] in five sets. In the July quarterfinal, Ljubičić again won his singles games against Romania's [[Victor Hănescu]], as well as [[Andrei Pavel]], and then together with Ančić defeated the Pavel-[[Gabriel Trifu]] duo in five sets. In the semifinal held in September against the Russian team, Ljubičić defeated [[Mikhail Youzhny]] in five sets, together with Ančić defeated [[Igor Andreev]] and [[Dmitry Tursunov]] in another five-set game, and finally defeated [[Nikolay Davydenko]] to secure victory for Croatia. Then, in the finals, Ljubičić defeated [[Karol Kučera]] and also paired with [[Mario Ančić]] to help secure Croatia's first Davis Cup victory. ===2006=== Prior to the Australian Open, Ljubičić played a tournament in Chennai. Seeded first, he was expected to do well on the hard courts there. Playing well, he reached the final and defeated Spaniard [[Carlos Moyà]], 7–6, 6–2. It proved to be a great preparation for the Australian Open. At the [[2006 Australian Open]], he reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career. He defeated [[Thomas Johansson]] of Sweden, 6–2, 6–4, 6–4, in the fourth round. He lost to eventual finalist [[Marcos Baghdatis]] of [[Cyprus]] in the quarterfinals, 4–6, 2–6, 6–4, 6–3, 3–6. After the Australian Open, he played at the Zagreb Indoor Open, which is played on carpet, a surface typically favoured by Ljubičić. He reached the final once more and defeated [[Stefan Koubek]], 6–3, 6–4. He bettered this feat when he made the semifinals of the [[2006 French Open]], a run that ended with a loss to [[Rafael Nadal]], who holds the record for the longest win streak on clay. It was speculated that Ljubičić was able to make it this far because his highest-ranked opponent was not even ranked in the top 70. After the match, Ljubičić made controversial comments about how Nadal took too much time between points. He also stated that he hoped [[Roger Federer]] would defeat him in the final. Ljubičić then traveled to [[Queen's Club Championships|Queen's Club]], defeating [[Răzvan Sabău]], 7–6, 6–2, before losing to [[Gaël Monfils]], 6-7, 5-7, in the round of 16. Many people have speculated about why Ljubičić does not do well on grass in spite of his huge serve, but analysts have said that Ljubičić needs more time on groundstrokes that the grass surface does not give.{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} At the [[2006 Wimbledon Championships]], Ljubičić had a tough first-round opponent in '05 quarterfinalist [[Feliciano López]]. He won 11–9 in the fifth. He then defeated [[Justin Gimelstob]], before losing in the third round to [[Dmitry Tursunov]], after being up two sets to none. He then traveled to [[Gstaad]], Switzerland to play in the [[Allianz Suisse Open]] on red clay. Being the top seed, he defeated Spaniard [[Albert Portas]] in the first round and [[Marco Chiudinelli]] in the second round, before losing to seed [[Feliciano López]] in straight sets. In the [[Canada Masters]], he reached the third round, before losing out to [[Fernando González]]. He then went to the [[Bangkok Open]], where he was the top seed and reached the final round. He met America's [[James Blake]], but was defeated, 3-6, 1-6, and moved to no. 3 on the ATP ace list. He did not remain no. 3, due to [[David Nalbandian]], who pushed him down by advancing to the semifinals in Madrid. At the US Open, Ljubičić was drawn against [[Feliciano López]] of Spain in the first round, as he had been at Wimbledon. However, Lopez exacted revenge for his almost five-hour long defeat at Wimbledon by annihilating the third seed, 6–3, 6–3, 6–3. ===2007=== [[File:Ivan Ljubicic questioning the umpire.jpg|thumb|Ljubičić in his only 2007 Australian Open match, questioning a line call.]] Ljubičić began his 2007 season in style with a victory at the $1 million Qatar [[Qatar ExxonMobil Open]]. En route to his victory, he defeated [[Andy Murray]] in the finals. In doing so, he became the race leader in the [[2007 Indesit ATP Race]]. In this tournament, Ljubičić played his first competitive match with a [[Head (company)|Head]] racquet, after abandoning his previous racket sponsor, [[Babolat]]. He played in the [[2007 Australian Open]] and was seeded fourth, but was surprisingly defeated in the first round by [[Mardy Fish]]. Ljubičić bounced back well to make the final of the Zagreb Indoor Open, against Cypriot [[Marcos Baghdatis]]. Baghdatis waited until match point to claim his only break of serve against Ljubičić to win the thrilling final with a 7–6 (4), 4–6, 6–4 victory. At the [[Marseille Open|Open 13]] tournament in [[Marseille]], Ljubičić, the second seed, was one of four seeds to lose in the first round, losing to qualifier but local favorite [[Nicolas Mahut]], 4-6, 4-6. In [[Rotterdam]], he made it to the final, where, exhausted, he suffered a 2-6, 4-6 defeat to [[Mikhail Youzhny]]. At the [[Pacific Life Open]] in [[Indian Wells, California]], Ljubičić lost to [[Andy Roddick]] in the quarterfinals, 6-7(7), 6-7(8). Prior to Wimbledon, Ivan Ljubičić hit form on the grass courts, a surface in which he had previously failed to reach the last eight before. Playing at [[s'Hertogenbosch]] in the Netherlands, he defeated Dutch home crowd favourite, [[Peter Wessels]] in three tight sets. Ljubičić won the final set 7–6, securing his victory, regardless of the fact that he did not break the Dutchman's serve in the match. As the 15th seed (ranked no. 12), he opened his [[2007 Wimbledon Championships|2007 Wimbledon]] campaign against American [[Vince Spadea]], followed by a win over [[Jan Hernych]], but fell in four sets to [[Paul-Henri Mathieu]]. He and [[Ernests Gulbis]] lost in the [[2007 Wimbledon Championships - Men's Doubles|men's doubles]] competition in the first round. In September, just one day before start of Davis Cup tie against Great Britain, Ivan discovered blood in his urine. After tests, it was announced that he had two small stones in the kidney. He was then advised to take a break for the next couple of weeks. Ivan then had an average fall season, reaching the semifinals of the [[China Open (tennis)|China Open]], losing to [[Fernando González]], the quarterfinals in [[Vienna]], and the quarterfinals in [[Lyon]]. However, he failed to win a match in the two [[ATP World Tour Masters 1000|Masters Series]] tournaments, losing to [[Stefan Koubek]] in [[Madrid]] and [[Marcos Baghdatis]] in [[BNP Paribas Masters|Paris]]. ===2008=== Ljubičić's first tournament of 2008 was in [[Doha]], where he reached the semifinals, losing to [[Stanislas Wawrinka]]. However, Ivan suffered a shocking first-round defeat at the [[2008 Australian Open]], losing to Dutchman [[Robin Haase]] in four sets. He was then granted a wildcard to a Challenger in [[East London, South Africa]], where he defeated [[Stefan Koubek]] in straight sets. It was Ljubičić's first Challenger in over two years. His next significant result was in [[Zagreb]], where, as the home crowd favorite, he reached the final, only to suffer a shocking upset by Ukrainian lucky loser [[Sergiy Stakhovsky]], 5-7, 4-6. At the [[2008 French Open]], Ljubičić produced the biggest upset of the tournament (at that time) by coming back from a two-set deficit to defeat world no. 4, and 2007 French Open semifinalist [[Nikolay Davydenko]], 4–6, 2–6, 6–3, 6–2, 6–4. He had previously lost to Davydenko on clay at Hamburg in 2008, 4-6, 1-6. At [[2008 Wimbledom|Wimbledon]], Ivan played three-hour thriller against Austrian [[Jürgen Melzer]] and lost, 4-6, 6-7(7), 6-4, 6-2, 3-6. It was a disappointment for Ljubičić, who told newspapers before the match that he still had a lot to give. ===2009=== Ljubičić started the season as world no. 58. His first tournament was the [[2009 Australian Open|Australian Open]], where he beat [[Igor Kunitsyn]] in the first round, 4–6, 7–6(3), 7–6(7), 5–7, 6–3, before losing in the second round to [[Jo-Wilfried Tsonga]], 7–6(4) 6–7(8) 6–7(7) 2–6. He then participated at [[2009 PBZ Zagreb Indoors|Zagreb]], where he defeated [[Christophe Rochus]] in the first round, 6–4, 6–1, before losing to [[Viktor Troicki]], 4–6, 7–5, 4–6, in the second. He then lost in the opening match in three tournaments: in [[2009 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament|Rotterdam]] to [[Andy Murray]], 3–6, 2–6, in [[2009 Open 13|Marseille]] to [[Feliciano López]], 6–3, 4–6, 5–7, and in [[2009 Dubai Tennis Championships|Dubai]] to [[David Ferrer]], 6–3, 2–6, 1–6. His ranking fell to no. 74. Ljubičić's next tournament was the [[2009 BNP Paribas Open]]. He defeated [[Kei Nishikori]] in the first round, and fellow Croatian [[Mario Ančić]] in the second when Ančić retired with illness at 3–3. He then upset eighth seeded [[Gilles Simon]], 6–3, 7–6(3), in the third, and outlasted [[Igor Andreev]], 4–6, 7–6(5), 7–6(4), in the fourth to reach the quarterfinals, where he was at last beaten by fourth seeded [[Andy Murray]], 5–7, 6–7(6). Ljubičić received a wild card into the [[2009 Monte Carlo Masters|Monte Carlo Masters]] and in the second round defeated [[Juan Martín del Potro]], 4–6, 6–1, 6–4. He proceeded to the quarterfinals, where he was defeated by four-time defending champion [[Rafael Nadal]], 3-6, 3-6. Because of his strong play at Monte Carlo, Ljubičić again received a wild card into the [[2009 Madrid Masters]]. He again defeated a top-10 player in the second round, beating ninth seed [[Jo-Wilfried Tsonga]], 6–4, 7–5. He then defeated eighth seed [[Gilles Simon]], 3–6, 6–4, 6–3, to reach his third quarterfinal at a Masters 1000 event. He was defeated by [[Novak Djokovic]], 4-6, 4-6, in the quarterfinals. His performances during the clay-court season have helped his ranking improve to no. 43, his highest since August 2008. Ljubičić's good clay-court form did not carry into the [[2009 French Open - Men's Singles|2009 French Open]], as he suffered a disappointing defeat to [[Juan Carlos Ferrero]], 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, in the first round. Ljubičić did not compete at [[2009 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]] due to an injury. Ljubičić returned to form in China. At the [[2009 China Open (tennis)|China Open]], he reached the quarterfinals, losing to [[Robin Söderling]]. At the inaugural [[2009 Shanghai ATP Masters 1000|Shanghai Masters]] event, Ljubičić reached the quarterfinals for the fourth time at a Masters 1000 event. He defeated [[Julien Benneteau]] in the first round, 6–3, 3–6, 6–1. He defeated world no. 9 [[Fernando Verdasco]] in straight sets, 6–4, 7–6(6), in the second round. Ljubičić was cruising over [[Gaël Monfils]], 6–2, 3–0, before the Frenchman retired. Ljubičić then retired from his quarterfinal match against [[Rafael Nadal]], after splitting the first two sets 6–3, 3–6. Ljubičić was the eighth player to retire during the event. Ljubičić then won his first title since June 2007, at the [[2009 Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon]] event. Seeded third, Ljubičić did not defeat a single seeded player, benefitting from several seeded players losing early. After defeating [[Martín Vassallo Argüello]] and [[Nicolas Kiefer]], Ljubičić defeated three Frenchmen in a row to take the title. He defeated [[Florent Serra]], and wild cards [[Arnaud Clément]] in the semifinal and [[Michaël Llodra]] in the final. ===2010=== Ljubičić began the season with a third-round finish at the [[Australian Open]], losing to countryman [[Ivo Karlović]]. He also made the quarterfinals in the [[2010 Dubai Tennis Championships]], where he lost to eventual champion and world no. 2 [[Novak Djokovic]], in three sets. At the [[2010 BNP Paribas Open]] in Indian Wells, he got revenge by beating Djokovic, 7–5, 6–3, in the fourth round. He proceeded to upset defending champion [[Rafael Nadal]], 3–6, 6–4, 7–6(1), in the semifinals, avenging his loss against him in the [[2005 Madrid Masters]] final and sending Ivan to his fourth career Masters 1000 final. He successfully broke his trend of three previous final losses in these master series tournaments by defeating American favorite [[Andy Roddick]] in the final, 7–6(3), 7–6(5), to lift his first ever Masters Series trophy. He also became: the first Croat to win the tournament; the third 26th-ranked player to win this tournament (following Àlex Corretja and Jim Courier);{{citation}} the second-oldest winner at the tournament (behind [[Jimmy Connors]] who was five months older when he won in 1984); and the oldest first-time winner of a Master Series 1000 event. As a result of his performance in the tournament, in which he defeated three top-10 players—Djokovic (no. 2) in the quarterfinals, Nadal (no. 3) in the semifinals, and Roddick (no. 8) in the final, en route to the title&mdahs;he broke into the top 20 in the rankings for the first time in nearly two years, no. 13 as of March 22. ===2011=== Ljubicic had a solid 2011, reaching the latter rounds of the Monte Carlo clay-court tournament and the third round at [[2011 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]], where he lost to [[Andy Murray]]. Ljubicic lost to [[David Nalbandian]] in the second round at the US Open. He reached the finals in [[2011 Open de Moselle|Metz]] in September, where he lost to [[Jo-Wilfried Tsonga]], 3-6, 7-6(4), 3-6. He reached the semifinals of the [[China Open (tennis)|China Open]], but lost to [[Marin Čilić]], 4-6, 3-6. ====Singles: 4 (1 title, 3 runner-ups)==== {|class="sortable wikitable" !width=80|Outcome !width=50|Year !width=200|Championship !width=75|Surface !width=200|Opponent in the final !width=200|Score in the final |- bgcolor=#ccccff |bgcolor=FFA07A|Runner-up||[[2005 Mutua Madrileña Masters Madrid – Singles|2005]]||  [[Madrid Masters|Madrid]], Spain||Hard (i)||  [[Rafael Nadal]]||6–3, 6–2, 3–6, 4–6, 6–7(3–7) |- bgcolor=#ffffcc |bgcolor=FFA07A|Runner-up||[[2005 BNP Paribas Masters – Singles|2005]]||  [[Paris Masters|Paris]], France||Carpet (i)||  [[Tomáš Berdych]]||3–6, 4–6, 6–3, 6–4, 4–6 |- bgcolor=#ccccff |bgcolor=FFA07A|Runner-up||[[2006 NASDAQ-100 Open – Men's Singles|2006]]||  [[Miami Masters|Miami]], United States||Hard||  [[Roger Federer]]||6–7(5–7), 6–7(4–7), 6–7(6–8) |- bgcolor=#ccccff |bgcolor=98FB98|Winner||[[2010 BNP Paribas Open – Men's Singles|2010]]||  [[BNP Paribas Open|Indian Wells]], United States||Hard||  [[Andy Roddick]]||7–6(7–3), 7–6(7–5) |} ===Singles: 24 (10–14)=== {|width=43% |valign=top width=33%| {|class=wikitable !Legend |-bgcolor=#e5d1cb |Grand Slam (0–0) |-bgcolor=ffffcc |Tennis Masters Cup /
