Queens Final WWW: David Nalbandian vs Marin Cilic
Great final between two great players.
H2H is in favor of David, but Marin won their last match in Davis Cup in Argentina in 5 sets.
Both guys have been playing great this week so far, can't really say who will take this one.
A win would take Cilic to #18 in the world, well on his way back to the top 10 at least. Nalbandian would rise to #29, maybe hinting at a late career surge.
Either way, tennis wins.

Re: Queens Final WWW: David Nalbandian vs Marin Cilic
I'd be surprised if Nalby got less than 99% of the votes here

Re: Queens Final WWW: David Nalbandian vs Marin Cilic
They have faced twice this year, one on hardcourt and one on clay, and now grass.
At Indian Wells, Nalbandian won 7-6 and 7-6.
At DC in Argentina (clay), Cilic won 5-7, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6, 6-3
Both very tight matches, as tomorrow's will probably be as well.

Re: Queens Final WWW: David Nalbandian vs Marin Cilic
Tough to see how this one is going to pan out. Marin is really back playing some great stuff again....and his game suits grass well. Dave says he feels fine, but looks a bit tired. Think I will go Cilic in 3...but won't be surprised by any outcome.

Re: Queens Final WWW: David Nalbandian vs Marin Cilic
What kind of grass final is this? Too bad the two finalists from last year lost early this year 
That said, the other possible finalists were Querrey and Dimitrov so I can't really complain  The two lessers of 4 evils got through, I guess.

What are you on about? Nalbandian has reached a final at Wimbledon, albeit a decade ago, and Cilic plays good tennis and moves well on grass.
True, on paper it's not as good a final as Murray vs Tsonga last year, but it's hardly a bad one either.

Re: Queens Final WWW: David Nalbandian vs Marin Cilic
I have to wonder how much gas Nalby has left in the tank after the last two days' exertions. He looked rather whacked after today's match. Hope he recovers enough to make the final competitive.
