    Cilic hunch...

    I know he has sucked some major nutsack this year..But does anyone get the feeling that this might be his make or break the season moment here? He has had some success vs murray on hard..beating him at Flushing in 2009 as a +700 dog and winning the 1st set in melbourne and up a break in the 2nd( live betting cilic was -130 at that point to win) before running out of gas due to 5 set matches in the 4th round and QF..the other times vs murray he has lost in 3(played tough first 2) at Rg and losing 7-5,7-6 on clay.
    Since marin has won the 1st set the last 2 times played and lost 7-5 and 7-5 in the others before fading..The play here is Cilic to win 1st set ..+240..I dont have the cojones to bet him to win though..

    Not a bad idea, in fact I think Cilic ML might be worth a shot. At this stage of the tournament, you have to wonder how many of the guys left who are going to be in London are going to tank to rest ... or play here to stay in form. Murray is a prime example where a tank might be worth his while. If he wins today, he faces the prospects of having to play Monfils who is in great form and would probably put him into a long match. For me, Murray either has to come to destroy Cilic quickly or get destroyed himself.

    If Berdych wins today, I can see Llodra beating him tomorrow. Roddick I don't think will tank, but he's probably going to be a dog against Soderling anyhow ... Federer will likely be against Melzer .... if Federer wins today, which he should easily ... but ....

    Typical f-ing Cilic. Gets to serve for the set at 5-4 and gets broken. Works his way to a tie break, goes up 4-0 in the break and loses it 7-5. I think he's about to bend over and let Murray fill him up in the 2nd set.

    Cilic is up 5-2 in the 2nd. Go Cilic .... have to wonder why Murray would not roll over in the 3rd and just get the F off the court to rest for London. If he plays hard in the 3rd and wins, gotta think about taking Monfils tomorrow against Murray without any question.

    Don't know at this point, but just saying they're at about 1:45 of court time right now. A tough 3rd set probably keeps him out for at least 2:30 total or thereabouts and then the prospects of playing an athletic guy like Monfils tomorrow ... he'll tank tonight or tomorrow I think to rest for London. He probably would have done it in the 2nd I think if he lost the tie break in the 1st which is where it seemed headed. Of course this is Cilic ... there's no telling if he could win a match where every service game is handed to him at triple break point this year.

    Yes. On Bet365.

    5-2 Murray lead. Cilic to serve.

    That was close. Had Murray in a parlay and didn't like the way he was playing today. Especially since Cilic had been struggling.

    ATP website always has live scores. 3rd set was what I expected in the 2nd from Cilic. Murray is fortunate he did not have to expend a ton of energy really in those last two sets with them being lopsided. Cilic is still a miserable prick though.
