With Djokovic in their team, Serbia will always have a chance in this competition and the world number two will be desperate to take them as far as he can this year. He will be hoping to silence the Croatian fans and get Serbia off to the best possible start with a convincing win here.
After a disappointing clay-court season, Djokovic found some form at Wimbledon, fighting through some tough matches early on though he was disappointing against Tomas Berdych given his experience of grand slam semi-finals.
Ljubicic finally won a Masters Series event earlier this year in Indian Wells, proving it is still possible to compete with the best in the world at the age of 31.
However since then the Croatian has struggled for wins during on the clay and the grass. However it is hard to know how much to read into this as Ljubicic is always much more comfortable indoors as the Croatians have laid a lightning fast indoor surface for this tie, designed for his serve.
Djokovic leads 5-2 on the head-to-heads and they are 1-1 so far this year with Ljubicic winning the big one 7-5, 6-3 at Indian Wells.
With Ljubicic’s serving this match will be close but look for Djokovic to battle through for a win in four or five sets.
