Cilic Edges Closer to ATP Championships

Marin Cilic’s performance in the finals of the ATP event in Vienna this past weekend edges him even closer to claim a spot in the coveted 8-person season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London.

Marin is one the players on the “bubble” and played in his fourth ATP Tour final this season. He is currently ranked at number 13 on the ATP rankings. Just three weeks after advancing to the final of the China Open, Cilic played in the final yesterday in Vienna, but ultimately lost to hometown favorite Juergen Meltzer 6-4, 6-3.

As reported by the ATP World Tour:

“The final was a great experience for me, another one in three or four weeks,” commented Cilic. ”He played really good this week and especially today in the final. He was able to sustain his tennis on a good level and when he got his chances he took all of them so it wasn’t easy for me to get the advantage. The season was really good and I’m happy about it. These past two months I played really good and I’m looking forward for these next two tournaments in Basel and Paris, which I hope I’m going to play as well as here. I’m really happy that I made it this far [in the Battle for London],” said Cilic. ”I have a slight chance to make it, you never know what’s going to happen in the last two or three weeks of the season. There are always some surprises and definitely I’m in good form and hopefully I can win some matches and from there we’ll see what happens.”

Marin Cilic heads to the ATP event in Basel, Switzerland this week.

Good luck Marin!
