Evo sto pise o tome ATP:
The Tennis Masters Cup is eight weeks away but Ivan Ljubicic, who is battling for a spot in the elite eight-man field,
could taste the excitement of the Chinese fans as the World No.3 visited Shanghai this week.

On Tuesday morning, Ljubicic – the top seed in next week’s Thailand Open in Bangkok –
practiced with China’s No.2 junior player Yin Xiao Long.

In the afternoon, the Croat served as an honorary judge for the nationally-televised Tennis Masters Cup
ball kid contest, from which the final six ballkids from 1,300 applicants were chosen to serve at the circuit-finale.

In a fierce contest reminiscent of American Idol, Tennis Masters Cup sponsor China Mobile
conducted a SMS text message contest in which the public voted for their favorite ballkids.
Twenty kids tried out for the final six spots in a contest televised live on Tennis Masters Cup broadcaster SGS.

The kids had to get up on stage and talk in English and Chinese about why they wanted to become a Tennis Masters Cup ballkid.
Ljubicic was interviewed on stage and played some mini tennis, and the successful six Tennis Masters Cup ballkids
were given a chance to practice their skills.
 
On Wednesday, Ljubicic met 10 of the top lifestyle media and later hosted a press conference.
In the afternoon, Ljubicic, who is chasing his third ATP title of the season,
headed to the courts for another practice session with Yin Xiao Long.

On Thursday, Ivan will host a tennis clinic with the Special Olympics athletes.
