Marin Cilic will a VERY dangerous opponent to anyone at Wimbledon this year if he keeps this level. I think he will be seeded between 17 to 20 range meaning he will be a tough opponent in the 3rd round.
Except we've seen this movie before. He will boot Med out w/ exemplary play but when he faces any of the big 3 he will fold like a $ Tree greeting card.

Draw was well balanced, we just didn't see it. Real threat is in the bottom :lulz1:

Cilic has been playing under the radar here at RG, never thought of him as a clay player, but then again nothing surprises me anymore:)

The Ru brothers (Rublev, Rune, and Ruud) plus Cilic in the bottom half of the draw!

Cilic is about to RUin their dreams when they face him.
Cilic is so unpredictable. He’s capable of feats like today, and then the next day acting like he’s new to tennis. I think out of this bracket I’d like to see Ruud or Rune make the final.

So our choices are hair dude, a teen, a rude ghost and a cough drop. Hmm, I think I like hair dude to get to the final. :thinking-face:

Tennis followers in Croatia were so fed up with his chokes that they just started making so many jokes about it over the years to kind of accept it as it is. When occasionally he plays well and wins some important match he is like a god and everyone gets so excited and pumped up, but we all know he can easily lose the next match even if he has 2 sets to love and a break up lead.

Having said that, I'd prefer Marin in the final, but it is a long shot still. He is the most experienced of them 4 though.

While day play conditions favors Nadal, playing at night gives Rafa a full 52 hours recovery from the FAA match.

May I ask where has this clay court form been hiding lol! Clay is Marin's least favored surface
