Croatian service duel in semi final

Marin Cilic and Ivo Karlovic will, without any doubt, provide the public with a strong serving demonstration at the Ricoh Open on Saturday. The two Croatians will battle for a place in the final.

Cilic, the tournament’s favorite, reached the final four by defeating qualifier Vasek Pospisil (ATP-83) with 6-3 7-5. Third seed Karlovic won the match against the young Russian Daniil Medvedev (ATP-65): 6-4 6-4.

Cilic and Karlovic are their country’s number one and two. They met five times before and Cilic won three of them.

The other semi final in Rosmalen will be played by second seed Alexander Zverev and 2016 finalist and fourth seed Gilles Muller.
