KEY POINTS |
|
- Watching Cilic beating the young aussie Tomic in round 2 would put anyone off ever backing him again. |
- The match finished after 2am Melbourne time and the standard throughout the 5 sets was shockingly bad |
- Cilic beat Wawrinka a few weeks ago in two long sets 7-6 7-6 but Wawrinka was suffering with a neck injury |
- This time it's more likely that Cilic will be the player suffering after his tough five-setter |
| |
- Wawrinka is now refreshed and has come through 2 matches in straight sets against 2 decent opponents |
- Both are powerful baseliners with strong serves but Wawrinka's game is more varied and technically better |
- He has has the ability to expose the Croat's limited game |
- Wawrinka leads the H2H 4-1 and will be able to learn from his recent defeat to reach the last 16 |
- I'd probably even back Wawrinka as a slight favourite |
