Carolyn T. Miller earns her spurs as a member of the TennisWorld Cabal with this post–Davis Cup note:
Ivan Ljubicic is yet another example of how good preparation for matches can create a strong belief in your abilities, which breeds confidence, which shows up in results. His year has been outstanding so far and I attribute much of it to his increased fitness level and his commitment to playing doubles . . . which gives him a better all-court game. This was very evident . . . in the match with Andy Roddick. He was able to finish off points much more effectively and it reduced Andy to looking like he was flailing away from WAY behind the baseline. Andy Roddick could do well to get with Jim Loehr or another mental coach. There’s no reason why, once he leveled the match at two-sets-all, he should lose serve two times in the last set—and also not get a break back when he was up love-40.
