Match Predict – Handicap (-2.5) for Cilic
The class in this pairing is certainly on Cilic’s side. All the more so because Marin has reached the semi-finals here before. We think the Croat has a good chance of doing it again. In the opening match, the Croatian scored 16 aces and three break points from seven. We expect him to play at a high level against Griekspoor as well.
Total Games Under 23
Cilic took three sets to defeat Carballes Baena in his opening match in Pune. However, we believe that the match against Griekspoor will end quicker. The Croatian is already accustomed to the local surface, so we expect to see the usual level of tennis in Marin’s performance in the upcoming match.
