This is the evening match in Rotterdam on Friday. It is set to be a cracker between two of the games biggest servers. Croat Cilic has had a disappointing start to 2011 so far, failing to impress against Nadal in the Aussie open and failing tamely to Florian Mayer in his home tournament last week in Zagreb. He is though impressing me in Rotterdam this week. His serve looks consistent and therefore Cilic can build his game around this. Today though he will face his toughest test yet against the ever consistent Serbian Viktor Troicki. I have already pointed out that Troicki's serve like Cilic is his main weapon. This is already his third quarter final or better on the ATP your this year and if he can go on to defeat Cilic today he could see himself a top 20 player for the first time. Head to head Cilic leads an impressive 5-1. But whilst the Croat's form has faltered slightly, Troicki has grown in confidence and it was the Serbian that won their last encounter last year. Its a tough one to call but I think Marin Cilic may just take this today
Match Prediction:
Marin Cilic to win
