Ivan Ljubicic def. NOLE.LUCKY 6-4 4-6 6-2 6-4

CRO 2:0 IND

I have a good connection with Nader.

Dr.Ivo has a problem with TE and I will replace him, so NOLE.LUCKY when do you want to play?

I am online all day 5 days a week, I think that's enough.

Team: Croatia

1st Singles: BlackyM
2nd Singles: Dr.Ivo
Doubles: BlackyM

No he is not the one to blame for that , but in future I want that only fair players can play on this tour , so "lob and net players" will be banned.

Croatia --> Blue-Green Cement

so, as long as somebody doesn't play 'unfair' against you, it's all ok, but if you don't like a gamestyle you forbid it...nice. PD: Not saying you shouldn't forbid lob/net, but not this way, only because he beat you with it. PD2: Do not forbid it now, but if he (or anybody else) ever do it again, t...

Because, he never played lob and net against me.

Beca...

That is why I am here to change the rules and bring order.

Hmm, if those weren't lobs, then you can't complain...you just need to use the short passes...I never had much trouble holding serve with Dr.Ivo, he almost never had a break point in our sets...so I don't think his style is so unfair...it's very beatable. But sure, he's a great volleyer, so he's no...

He isn't a good player if he uses bugs in the game. If he is a good volleyer, he should prove that in another way. Lets learn to hit BH and FH on the baseline. The fact is that they can break their opponents just by luck or bugs. He should use his volleys a lot, but he should play tennis. Ofc, I wo...
