With a bit of composure Cilic could have won that in 3...but he might lose it in 4.

The good news is that Cilic won many TBs this tournament......The bad news is that it's pressure time.

Cilic is an instinctive player exclusively it seems.

I am just hoping that negative energy from cilic will tire and that he can relax again.

I was just going to say how Cilic has that mad USO ‘14 glint in his eye again...

Well, he is ehat he is...and he is not a cerebral player.

Too much emotion to let the brain kick in...still, he CAN take this to five sets!!!

Ajde careeeeee!!!! diva

Cilic's shots are way too risky...he has enough power not to risk it that much. he will never learn....how old is he?

That's what sad..he can only go to 0/30 up by painting 2 lines...and then needs another 2 pieces of luck....but of course...they go long or in the net....by pushing his luck.

Only watching the scoreboard now and then. I can only see this end in 4.
Or is there any hope for Cilic?

The worst part of Nadal is, that he wins so often despite being rubbish..

I never thought I’d say it, but it’s god to hear Nadal do this grunt+squeal in one.

He only does it when he is into his rainy days energy reserves.

This match is now all about Cilic. Nadal s job is to stay close enough to have a good break but on tennis this match is on Cilic’s racquet.

From the sounds of the radio Nadal can't work out which bit of him would justify an 'inconveniently times' MTO.

yep...it is a very good point. I have been watching a bit of table tennis recently and clearly, it's nothing like it.

Based on the clock or a camember slicing! Quite smart!

The truth is that he needs more time than 1h for a mere 6/3 to recover but also woudl be a good time to jam Cilic.

What does Naxroy think about it? She looked one of the few Nadal's fair fan.
