Croatia a factor after all 
Upset by Ancic evokes Ivanisevic 

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Goran is Goran. He's unique.............................................  I'm Mario."

By HOWARD FENDRICH, The Associated Press 

WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND - Even if defending champion Goran Ivanisevic isn't at Wimbledon, his considerable spirit is alive and well in the form of another lanky Croatian: Mario Ancic.

Think of the 18-year-old qualifier as Goran without the goatee -- or the self-diagnosed multiple personalities.

Making his Grand Slam debut, the 154th-ranked Ancic produced the tournament's first major upset by dominating No. 7-seeded Roger Federer 6-3, 7-6 (2), 6-3 Tuesday on Centre Court.

In his Centre Court debut last year, Federer upset seven-time champion Pete Sampras in the fourth round.

Ancic looks like, talks like and sometimes plays like Ivanisevic, who's home in Croatia after shoulder surgery.

"Goran is Goran, not me. I just knew him for a long time," said Ancic, whose English syntax mirrors that of his mentor. "We are not too much difference, with our temperament."
