    Seppi vs Cilic

    Anyone have thoughts on this match? I'm leaning Seppi here. Hard worker, good ground strokes, good return game, likes to play longer rallies. All not what Cilic wants to do. If I can get over +200 here I may think about making a play but I'm afraid I may have missed the boat and the line keeps moving downward. Can someone give me a good argument why this won't at least be a coin flip?

    I can only hope Cilic takes this as I've got him locked at -255 which looks bad with the way the line is moving. Seeing how Seppi struggled bigtime with his second round matchup I feel a little confident, but I don't know anything.

    He didnt "struggle". He played Istomin who is a quality opponent and he out battled him in 5 sets, something I think he has a huge advantage over Cilic if it goes deep.

    Seppi going 51 games over 5 sets against an unseeded player is not struggling? What else could you possibly call that?

    Did he need to go more than 3 tie breaking sets in order to say he was having issues?

    Agreed with Sharp Snake; Istomin is a quality player. I'm not touching this game but I see the play as Seppi or nothing.

    Unseeded means an automatic easy match? Tell that to Tipsarevic in round 1 or Dolgopolov vs Monfils or anyone Madison Keys played or Vesnina. Using seeds or ranks to gauge the difficulty of an opponent isn't accurate.
