Tough one for Greg here.. Tbh he'll have to be on his game really to stand any chance of winning this match against Ljubicic and if he does it will be in 3 sets. Certainly a match of big servers and if Greg can put in a good serve who knows what could happen during this match. But I just feel Ljubicic will win, sorry Greg. Poll please, once again.

I gather you know a fair bit about electronics, Drew !

I've gone rather optimistically for Ljubo in 3, though my head tells me that it'll be straight sets.

This match is 3rd on Grandstand today at approx 7.30 pm GMT.

The current world no 3 has never played Greg before. Last week in Toronto he reached rd3 before losing to Gonzo in a 3rd set breaker in a match full of blistering groundstrokes and scorching serves. On the US hard courts earlier this year, he was on top form, making the Miami final before losing to his nemisis Federer in 3 straight tiebreaks. He also lost to Federer in the quarters of Indian Wells. Last year he had a poor run in the summer American hard courts swing, losing in rd1 of Toronto and Cinci to Dent and Santoro and in rd3 of the USO to Gasquet in 5 sets.

Did anyone see Greg and Lucy on Millionaire on Saturday ?

Sorry to say this but cant see greg winning or win a set, with his confidence low and retirement to follow, its last chance saloon for Greg.

Ljubo serving:

40-30

Really key games at the start of this set, if Greg gets broken now I reckon Ljubo will run away with this
