Second Straight 2005 Title for Ljubicic at ATP Vienna


Posted on October 17, 2005

No. 4 seed Ivan Ljubicic won his second title in two weeks Sunday at the ATP final in Vienna, straight-setting former world No. 1 and No. 7 seed Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(5) in the best-of-five final.

"I had some unbelievable results this week," said Ljubicic, who dropped 21 aces on Ferrero over three sets. "I didn't drop serve all week and I saved all break points I faced, it's incredible. I was a little bit worried in my fitness in the final but fortunately I managed to win in three sets."

Top-seeded Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor won their third title of the year in the doubles final, defeating No. 2-seeded Israelis Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram 5-3, 5-4(2) under the ATP's experimental doubles scoring system.
