2005 Davis Cup
Ancic sealed victory on his second match point and was promptly mobbed by his ecstatic team mates, including former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic and Ljubicic, the player who took them to the final virtually single-handed.
With hundreds of celebrating fans going berserk in the Sibamac Arena, Croatia captain Niki Pilic paid tribute to his team who became the first unseeded nation to win the trophy.
"The Davis Cup is one of the greatest competitions in the world and I'm so proud that my team is number one in 2005," said Pilic, who is the first captain to win the title with two different nations, having triumphed three times with Germany.
There is no doubt this one is the sweetest.
