Wimbledon 2017 QF: Muller - Cilic

[Denis]

I really hope Muller can pull this off, but I think the 4th round took too much out of him. Cilic in 3.

Cilic 2 up in the Head to Head.

2017 Queen's SF Grass Marin Cilic Gilles Muller 6-3 5-7 6-4
2016 Rotterdam R16 Hard Marin Cilic Gilles Muller 7-6(2) 7-6(7)

I've gone Cilic in straights too.

 

[Moxie]

I'm hoping Muller manages a set. He's going to be a bit mentally and physically wasted after the Rafa match, but he's playing great this year and deserves a good showing.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Cilic just recently beat him in Queens. Nothing much has changed. Further Cilic has more experience playing at this level. So, Cilic will win this one. However, Muller's serve is great and Cilic is not a great returner and so I will give Muller a set.

 

[atttomole]

I think Cilic takes it in 5 sets. The scorelines from their previous encounters suggest it could be close.

^I would agree completely with attomole's post above if it wasn't for the previous match. You need to be inhuman not to be completely spent so little time after that battle. This gives Cilic quite an edge, plus the experience on big matches. Cilic in three, but one goes to a tie breaker -- where Muller could get his one.

 

[herios]

Müller breaks. He looks sharp.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Look at Muller already proving me wrong by getting the first.

 

[Moxie]

Muller looking good so far.

 

[isabelle]

first set for Gilles

 

[mrzz]

Wow!

 

[atttomole]

Muller seems to have gained momentum. At the moment he seems unbreakable.

 

[atttomole]

What a chip from Muller.

 

[kskate2]

Cough drop up 2 sets to 1 and just had a bp at 4-3 in the 4th.

 

[Denis]

Muller breaks! Will serve for the fourth. Pulling hard for him. How amazing to have a Querrey - Muller semi. For both a once in a lifetime realistic opportunity to make a Wimbledon final.

 

[herios]

5 sets it is.

 

[Denis]

Cilic gets the advantage of serving first.

 

[mrzz]

Amazing. If this goes really long then oddly enough I think Muller has it.

 

[Denis]

Unfortunately cilic breaks right away.
