Fernando Gonzalez - Marin Cilic


Fernando Gonzalez - Marin Cilic :Gonzalez -2.5 game handicap@1.83 sportingbet

I'll start by saying the handicap is 4.5 at the other bookmakers. Even I opposed Cilic 2 times before , and was wrong , I feel 3rd time will be with more luck. Yes Cilic had a great run, but he only defeated Almagro and Melzer , can't realy say he had an extraordinary result . Gonzalez has the better forehand, better service , and only needs consistency to defeat the young Cilic. Had a slow start against Lee , but came back in the game and won 3-1. Fernando had a bad start, loosing to Safin and Baghdatis at Kooyong .Cilic hasn't won a single match agaisnt top 10 players in his hole career (well he did , but against Davydenko , but it was a scandal about those games, the main ideea being Davy hadn't played at his best).
I expekt Cilic to maybe win a set, but the experience of Gonzalez should prevail .
