The two tennis players played one head-to-head match last year at the Estoril Open. Norrie won then. He beat Cilic (7-5, 7-6). Cameron is likely to succeed again against Cilic.
Despite the defeats, it cannot be said that Marin is not playing well. Very often his matches turn out to be three sets. In their previous head-to-head encounter, the tennis players played 25 games.
This season, Cilic has never advanced beyond the second round on clay. However, he has fought back in most of his matches. For example, he lost in Estoril to Sebastian Baez (6-1, 1-6, 4-6) and in Madrid to Alexander Zverev (6-4, 4-6, 4-6).
In Rome, Marin also reached this stage of the competition. However, it was not so hard to do so. The Croatian was lucky with his opponent. In the first round, he faced the 275th racket of the world ranking Matteo Arnaldi. The Italian lacked experience, so Cilic beat him (6-1, 6-4).
Norrie is a universal tennis player. He can perform well on any surface. The clay is no exception. This season, for example, Cameron reached the quarter-finals in Barcelona and played in the third round in Madrid. Among the opponents he has beaten are John Isner (6-4, 6-7, 6-4) and Marton Fuscovics (7-5, 6-7, 6-4).
His first opponent in Rome was Luca Nardi. He did not manage to give a fight to Norrie. Cameron celebrated a 6-4, 6-4 victory.
