 First set and especially the tiebreak was really brillant from Cilic but he can never keep that up. The Djoker in 4 sets still looks realistic for me.

 What a tie-breaker from Cilic. Beautiful backhand to save set point 6-7 down to set up the winner. Great set from Cilic. Can he keep it up...

 benihana15 - Catscratch is right I agree... It's a Serbian against a Croatian.

 catscratch is correct. marin can pull this off if he keeps his first serve % high and keeps his cool and just plays his A game.

 My Selection:M.Cilic 5.5 games <1.93> (Betfair)

Cilic been in great form of late an has carried his New Haven form into the open.Cilic came through a tricky match against Ginepri showing his confidence with some great forehand winners.

This his Djokovic first real test against a player who has a similar game to Nole, apart from the Serbs defensive skills are better.I don`t think there his no value in Djokovic so im sticking with my "Hitman" (For you cats lol) to keep it tight

 Cilic is quite dangerous and capable of creating big upsets..bu not now .Djokovic has sumthing xtra which cilic wont be able to handle..like gulbid couldnt handle roddik.Both have big 1st serves and powerful bakhands.Novak is much more consistent so hez gona prevail in 4 sets.

 Cilic is just a taller inferior clone of Djokovic. Both serve well, both are solid on the backhand side, both can name their forehand as their most potent weapon. Differences are though that Djokovic is the more agile and defends better and the more accurate and consistent. Novak isn't quite in peak form but he will be expected to sweep Cilic under the rug. Most certainly over 5 sets anyway. Eh Scoobs, Cilic Bang..

 Djokovic has a great chance of reaching the final again this year and while Cilic is a dangerous player, I don't expect him to cause Novak too many problems in this one.

 What a matchup: Croatia vs Serbia.

This will be one for the ages. An absolute corker and I am going to get back on my Hitman Marin to take this out. It will be tough as Djoko is good. But as they say, whatever bleeds can die and Marin can certainly puncture a few holes in Djoko before the night is done.

Keys to winning will be continual high rate of 1st Serve % and keeping Djoko as far behind the baseline as possible. Yes...Marin can do it.

 Djok will paint the lines and win sets with a single break. He is quality on the big game points and he will be determined to progress. Cilic is a great player, but is coming against the best hardcourt player who is playing some good tennis at the present
