Croatians Ivan Ljubicic and Marin Cilic have both exited Wimbledon on the opening day, with Ljubicic losing to Michal Przysiezny 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-3 and Cilic falling to Florian Mayer 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (1).
With Ivo Karlovic pulling out with a foot injury before the tournament began, the Croatians look set for a struggle when they face Serbia in Davis Cup the week after Wimbledon.
