Ivanisevic returns to Davis Cup
The Croatian and Slovak Tennis Associations today nominated their four-man
teams for the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group Final, which will take
place on 2-4 December at the Sibamac Arena NTC, Bratislava:

Miroslav Mecir (Captain)
CROATIA

Mario Ancic
Ivo Karlovic
Goran Ivanisevic
Niki Pilic (Captain)
For the third tie in a row, the Slovak Republic have named an unchanged team.
For its first Davis Cup Final, the Slovaks have named Dominik Hrbaty and
Karol Beck, who have both won all but one of their live singles rubbers in
the Slovaks' three victories so far this year, Michal Mertinak, who in
partnership with Beck, is undefeated in three doubles rubbers, and veteran
Karol Kucera. The Slovaks will enjoy home advantage for the fourth time this
year.
Croatia have named 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic to replace Sasa
Tuksar in a team otherwise unchanged to that which overcame Romania in the

USA. He and Ljubicic are, in fact, unbeaten in six Davis Cup doubles rubbers
so far. Ljubicic has won a maximum nine singles and doubles rubbers in the
2005 campaign through the semifinals and is bidding to emulate John McEnroe's
perfect record of eight singles and four doubles rubbers in 1982.
The two nations have never met before in Davis Cup competition and are
bidding to become the 12th nation to have its name engraved on the famous
trophy.
Two of the four players nominated can be changed up to one hour before the
draw, which takes place on 1 December at Bratislava Castle at 1000 GMT.
