Cilic has lost some speed due to his age, but this does not prevent the Croat from demonstrating a good game. On the ground, Marin manages to catch almost all the balls. Cilic still has power in his shots, as well as a strong first serve - due to his tall stature, he is able to give up to ten aces per game.
