MUMBAI, India (Reuters) - World number nine Ivan Ljubicic will replace injured French Open champion Rafael Nadal in the ATP Chennai Open draw, tournament organizers said on Tuesday.
The Spanish world number two withdrew from the $400,000 event starting on January 2 due to a lingering foot injury that also forced him toe pull out of the year-ending Masters Cup in Shanghai last month.
The 26-year-old Ljubicic, who inspired Croatia to their maiden Davis Cup title this year, has been given a wild card entry into the singles draw.
