In the first set Cilic played very good, especially on return. In the second set Misha started to serve very well, and also Marin's level of play dropped so it was an easy set for the Russian. Third set was a bit closer, but it always looked like Misha is going to take it, having break points in the first game, and finally breaking in the 5th.
Marin got back in the match when Misha choked serving for the match at 5-4 and then broke again at 6-5 to win the match. His first win ever over Misha and first final after a long time. Has to be mentioned he saved a MP being 3-5 down.

calling misha a choker is like calling christopher rochus a giant :scratch:

Re: Marsaille SF: Cilic stuns Youzhny 6-2 1-6 7-

Nice to see Marin so fired up and dialed in again. He fought hard to hold at 3-5, and it paid off as he closed out the match by winning four straight games. I had almost forgotten what it is like to watch an in-form Cilic, as he is unbelievably precise when playing well.

:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha: Marin finally found a bitch on which to improve mentality . To be honest Misha doesn't deserve anything else . Every time when he was trying to find his shots was missing hugely . When he was just staying in relies and mixing slices and spins Cilic was clueless like usual and then when he was serving for the match he decided to win with style . Fool guy this Youzhny . Deserves more matches like this

I'm pretty suprised , honestly. Cilic looked like an ideal match-up for Misza, so it's even more estimable that the Croat managed to win.
