CROATIA'S Ivan Ljubicic said his goodbyes to tennis yesterday after suffering a 0-6, 3-6 opening defeat to compatriot Ivan Dodig at the Monte Carlo Masters.
The first-round loss was the end of the line for the shaven-headed Croatian icon, who last played in an opening loss in Dubai two months ago. The Monte Carlo-based veteran, 33, had previously announced that the elite event in the principality which opened the pre-French Open run would be his last hurrah in the sport. "It was a tough day for me, on the court and off," said an emotional Ljubicic. "It's the end of something beautiful for me. It's been 20 years and now it's time to do something else."
