Ljubicic wins first Masters title

Ivan Ljubicic became the oldest first-time winner of a Masters Series event by beating Andy Roddick in the final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
The 31-year-old Croat, seeded 20th and a 100-1 shot before the tournament started, defeated the American seventh seed 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-5).
He hit 20 aces and 42 winners to seal a 10th ATP title in just over two hours.
"It's been a fantastic week," said Ljubicic, who beat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic on his way to the final.

We loved getting to watch him play. He (and his family and friends) was also in a restaurant we had dinner in one night. Very very nice.

Congrats Ivan!

Hugs!
