Nishikori leads Cilic 5-0 in non-mandatory tournaments btw, 3-0 at ATP 500 level. Cilic's 3 wins in this matchup have all come in mandatory events, 2 at the US Open, 1 at Indian Well.
If anything Cilic is more overrated for his slam victory getting easy half. The following year he took just 3 games off Djokovic in the USO SF entire match including a bagel. In contrast Kei took 6 games off him in the first set alone in his SF after two back to back 5 setters.
Oh you're right, for some reason in my mind Djokovic had faced Dimitrov in the SF and Murray in the QF but it was the other way round indeed.
