(15) IVAN LJUBICIC

PRE-TOURNAMENT ODDS: 66/1
NATIONALITY: CRO
BIRTH DATE: 19/03/79
BECAME PRO: 1998
WORLD RANKING: 13
VERDICT
Has one of the most lethal serves in the business, so it's always been something of a surprise that 'Lubo' hasn't done better at Wimbledon, the third round being his best effort so far. Won in Doha earlier this year but the grasscourts will require greater application and Ljubicic will do well to make the second week, although his success in Holland at the weekend will raise expectations. Helped Croatia to Davis Cup glory in 2005 and he will return to this venue to lead his country at Wimbledon in September's play-offs against the Brits.
