We found the great Marin Cilic (ATP 23) who had masterfully flown over the US Open 2014. The Croatian had the perfect match once morest Daniil Mevdedev at Roland-Garros.
Cilic won 6-2 6-3 6-2 ahead of the world No. 2 to advance to the quarter-finals once morest another Russian player in the person of Andrey Rublev. Even if his preparation for this Roland-Garros was limited to a single match, once morest Richard Gasquet at the Geneva Open, Medvedev did not expect to undergo such a correction. Never, he must have felt such a feeling of helplessness on a tennis court.
In a state of grace, Cilic did not concede a single break point. On several occasions, he left the Russian meters away from the ball thanks to the purity and the dazzling of his shots. If he evolves in the same register during the next matches, one wonders who will be able to stop him. In 2014 at Flushing Meadows, no player had succeeded.
