Ljubicic is named Croatia captain
Ivan Ljubicic has been named captain of
Davis Cup champions Croatia.
The 26-year-old takes over for the
first-round tie against Austria on 10
February, but is likely to then pass on
the reigns to legend Goran Ivanisevic.
"Ivan Ljubicic is the player-captain of
Croatia's Davis Cup team," said Radimir
Cacic, president of the Croatian Tennis
Federation on Monday.
But he added that talks were to be held
on Saturday with Ivanisevic, who he was
"certain" would agree to take control.
