Tall and powerfully built, he is noted for his strong serve and has achieved his best results in indoor tournaments played on carpet or hardcourt. He often plays from the baseline. Ljubičić is using the Head Microgel Extreme Pro Racquet, after using the Babolat Pure Drive for most of his professional career.
