Pretty dominant performance apart from a few lapses. Harrison served for the 3rd but as usual after breaking, got broke back straight away. Pegged in the tie-break too, and that was it.

 

[Orka_n]

Harrison served for both the 2nd and 3rd set. And he had 5-2 in the breaker. :facepalm:

 

[misty1]

ryan served for both the 2nd and 3rd sets but got broken fairly easily both times, was also up 4-1 and 5-2 in the tiebreak

glad marin came through, some spotty stuff but good enough

 

[Vida]

good win for cilic, I though ryan will win.

 

[Time Violation]

Expected. Good to see Cilic is getting more consistent

 

[Deathless Mortal]

Lost his serve too many times but a solid performance. Good to see him keeping his head together in tough situations, although Harrison's choking helped a lot. I expect a tougher match against Tomic.

 

[Kworb]

Abysmal serving from Ryan today. When your main weapon is your serve, you can't get broken 7 times in three sets. Poor match overall, cause Cilic didn't play well either.

 

[UsD.AnDreS]

Seemed like Cilic was soooo toying with Harrison, like a dog and its master - giving a bone, then taking it back straight away. (3 breaks of serve gifted and taken back,as well as 5-2 lead at the TB)

 

[Jafooli]

Harrison had his chances, served for both the second and third sets, had a set point on serve in the breaker too but couldn't get it done.

Good win for Marin, played well for the most part.

 

[theKSHE]

Pretty boring match.

Cilic did what he normally does. Bashed. As for Harrison he lacks a "killer instinct", his groundstrokes usually have no pace, drop short and they are perfect for Mugrin's forehand.

On a side not, Cilic couldn't hit a forehand if Harrison returned with a short slice backhand.

 

[Hian-GOAT]

Marin :drool:
Harrison :wavey: He seems a baby Wozniacki, but he pushes even worse

 

[croat123]

good from cilic apart from the serve
nice to see that he kept it together mentally. it really shouldn't have even been this close

 

[Ad Wim]

Good one, Cilic! Harrison is such a terrible server...

 

[asmazif]

Epic closing out of sets by Harrison.

Abysmal serving from Ryan today. When your main weapon is your serve, you can't get broken 7 times in three sets. Poor match overall, cause Cilic didn't play well either.

Lol, main weapon serve? Look how often he gets broken every match.

 

[Ashlar77]

Harrison needs to be put back in his playpen. What a whiny little brat :help:

 

[foul_dwimmerlaik]

The fact that Cilic managed to somehow win a tiebreak is a minor miracle in itself, if you ask me. Good match but the opponent has made it relatively easy for him, what with all the pushing.

Harrison is: 1) a monstrous brat who needs to be taught a lesson (possibly a few); 2) nothing to write home about, gamewise - basically, he's a Roddick without the serve, not a winning combination. I don't think he has a future higher than top 30.

 

[Snowwy]

Very surprising that Cilic was more aggressive than Harrison.

 

[Ilovetheblues_86]

Harrisson should watch some hewitt matches or Jamie Baker last week in Astana, because if he wants to be an all-rounder grinder, he needs to be more consistent and cut off the bad attitude crap.

 

[thefish11]

this much was awful- Harrison was pathetic and Cilic not much better at times
