Weird Way to Warm Up for a Game

One top-ranked tennis star saw quite a bit more of another player than he'd wanted to at the Nasdaq-100 Open (search) in Miami this past Sunday.
While getting ready for a match, Ivan Ljubicic (search) headed to his locker at the clubhouse when he noticed all his clothes strewn over the floor.

"I saw the door slightly open, so I went to open it and then, shock, complete shock there was Michael Llodra, naked in my locker!" Ljubicic told the BBC.
"He was looking at me, I was looking at him,"Ljubicic continued. "I said, 'What the hell are you doing here?'
"He said: 'I'm trying to focus for my match.'
"I said: 'It's 10 to 10 you're playing at 10 o'clock!'
"He replied: 'I'm trying to get positive energy from you. You're winning a lot of matches this year.'" :rotflmao:
Llodra may have been on to something he went on to win his doubles match that day, and another one Tuesday before being knocked out of the tournament.
Ljubicic, who also won Sunday before losing on Tuesday, still isn't sure how the 6-foot-3 Llodra was able to fit into the tiny space.
"It's not easy to get in that locker, I'm telling you," said Ljubicic. "He is not a small guy, but very flexible. Very, very flexible
