Wimbledon Day 1: Five Matches I'm Looking Forward to - Ivan Ljubicic and Marin Cilic
It will be a battle of two Croatians - one a veteran, the other, one of the country's future hopefuls. I've always liked Ivan Ljubicic's quiet demeanor which usually belied his awesome talents, and although perpetually overshadowed by the trio of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, back when he was still in the upper echelons of the Top 5, he would always quietly work his way up the draw and get to the most successful stage that he possibly can. Cilic, his compatriot, is an equally crafty player but has somehow lost a bit of his touch this year. Ljubicic has been playing very well again since the French Open, and should continue his winning touch here in Wimbledon.
Ljubicic should win in four tight sets.
