Ancic ready to take on the best again

May 19, 2008

"The more I'm playing on [clay], I feel more and more comfortable," Ancic said. "Two years ago was one of the best seasons I had on clay, I showed how good I can play."

At 1.95 metres tall, Ancic's physique and attacking style is more suited to the faster surfaces, especially the grass of Wimbledon, where he reached the semi-finals in 2004.

    Re-learning to play on any surface, after any lengthy absence, is tough, but Ancic said clay is even tougher.

    "Before, everything was instinctive," said Ancic, who holds the distinction of being the last man to defeat Federer on grass at Wimbledon in 2002.
