What a match! A quick set loss followed up by a remarkable comeback and then a ruthless dominance in a tie-break - it was Ljubicic all the way in a one-sided tie-break. magnetism performance by 31 year old Ljubicic, who safely moves into the final of the BNP Paribas Open. Ljubicic's specific game plan paid off in a big way, he did not panic after losing the first set and surprised the defending champion with his temperament and technique to secure his place in the final. Ljubicic is one match away from winning his first Masters tournament.
