After the third set, I thought I'm going to win because I felt everything much better. I think he was just pushing the ball back and running left and right. I think I was very unlucky in the fifth set not to get the break in the beginning, then to lose service game after.
More Quotes from Ivan Ljubicic:
My serve was the key today, and the crowd were fantastic,Ivan Ljubicic
I really never felt in a trouble on my service games. Even throughout the second set, the whole second set, I was feeling that I was almost there. Then finally at 5-5, I played two perfect returns on 15-30 and 15-40 to break him and to close out the match.

I served unbelievable again today. I just feel like I'm serving from the service line instead of the baseline. I feel like the box is huge.

It's the first match of my life on centre court here, and I hope it's not my last. I had only two days to prepare and I was struggling a bit in my first two matches. Today it was much better and I'm looking forward to the quarter-finals.
Ivan Ljubicic
I didn't feel like he gave me too many chances out there. I probably tried too hard, tried more than I'm doing every day, and that's never good. He was the one pushing me over the limits.
Ivan Ljubicic
It's not going to be an easy match because he's already won seven matches here. He knows exactly probably every little hole in the court so it's not going to be easy, but I think the crowd is going to be behind me tomorrow and I'm going to give a try to go for that fifth title.

Events that are predestined require but little management. They manage themselves. They slip into place while we sleep, and suddenly we are aware that the thing we fear to attempt, is already accomplished.
