	Game as he was, Ancic can't solve Federer - The Boston Globe
		Mario Ancic brought his ‘‘A’’ game, but still couldn’t get a passing grade against Roger Federer.
		Ancic, an agreeable young Croat from Split, had returned to the grassy scene of his crime -- Wimbledon's Centre Court -- and now he needed protection from the guy he had mugged on that afternoon four years ago.
		Naturally, he was looked on as a title contender, but Ancic trashed that hope, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, in the opening round.

		Ancic probably is best known as the last player to beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon, upsetting the Swiss star in the first round there in 2002.
		Ancic reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2005, his best showing at a major, and made the quarterfinals at the All England Club and the French Open last year.

		Ancic took an untidy first set with ease, breaking Haas in his first service game and clinching it with a second break when he hit a nerveless low volley in game eight.
		Ancic is due to play on all three days of the tie and his fitness could now be a concern for captain Goran Prpic.

		MARIO ANCIC: I think first set I was returning, I was reading his serve a lot, he was putting a lot of returns in.
		As Mario said, my wish was that Mario was serving a little bit better, then maybe he had a better chance because the first set was that he played very solid, and Andy make mistakes.
		But let's say I would say for Mario was much better that the court is a little bit faster, then he could play much more serves at the net and more volleys which he is very good.
