Ljubo has been in poor form all season, he was disapointing in Montreal and Cincinnati, but recently is seems that he found his game. Both players has demolished their opponents in previous rounds; Ljubo won Vliegen and Pavel while Chela eliminated McClune and Odesnik, and they haven't faced real challenge yet. Chela was also pretty bad on recent hard tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati, so their form is similar. Chela is more competent on clay and I think his chances against Ljubo are small, because he is better player than Chela and he has proven that 6 times! (h2h 6-0 for Ljubo; last matchup was in March this year in Miami where Ljubo won in straight sets). Ljubicic will rely on his good serve and Chela will have a dificult job breaking his serve, while Chela's serve is much more playable. Even if Ljubo isn't in great form lately I think he will be very motivated to achieve good result after his disapointing season and advance into the next round.
