[Vmpratt89]

[Nadalthaman94]

I watch this match to cheer myself up

[Stylaz21]

@Nadalthaman94 Maybe you should watch some matches of Nadal to cheer yourself up.

[levangumby]

best match of cilic ever played in his career

[LeylaGerMert]

Marin Cilic is a amazing player. His kind of playing tennis is diffrent to all other players. I think he has definetly the potencial to become the next Goran Ivanisevic. A big Serve a great forehand and good footwork. Today he becomes 23 years old i hope and I am sure that he will have a great future his best years will come soon. Hope he have had a great birthday today. Croatia you can be proud to have such an player. Best wishes to him and all croatians from your friends in Germany

[Shodai24]

...You think the forehand sucks people...that serve will keep him in a wheelchair when he hits 60+

[ArjunJethwa]

Tactics TOTALLY WRONG from Murray.

[kakashi1300]

this match is the very definition of "getting blown off the court"

[MrRayinator]

this is when andy was no. 2 in the world

[HamiltoncheaterisFag]

Cilic just sucks, end of story.

[serbianpupil]

@HamiltoncheaterisFag Lol, yes, he sucks deeply like the Croatian Nazi who is hyping him and Donna Vekic, too!

[abcjc1]

murray is a great matchup for cilic's heavy groundstrokes, with murrays "pusher" style of play it allows cilic to go for his shots like in this match :)

[cj397]

@Rafathaman94 He's a really good player. 4th in the world for a reason. he's the last out of the steady top guys who STAY in the top 4. clean strokes, smart play especially as of late and a nice change up to the boring guys we all already know so much about. No reason to complain about any player. why the hell cant you just watch tennis and be like wow and forget it. very childish so sit there and seriously critique ppl who will be more successful than you ever will.

[93RastafarianPikachu]

@Rafathaman94 you've totally misread the meaning of the comment you tit.

[Clydey]

@Rafathaman94 No, you don't have good reasons. Why watch Murray videos if you hate him so much?

[Clydey]

@Rafathaman94 He did have a wrist injury. He ended up missing a month of the indoor season after this. You seem to go on every Murray video and troll. I can't imagine how you are able to avoid getting punched every day, given how much of a tool you are.

[93RastafarianPikachu]

Ah murray. So deliciously passive.

[johnjohns65]

TREE

[Feuerbach92]

Cilic is definitely a top 5 player. He has got so powerful ground strokes and his serve is amazing. In a good shape he is able to beat every other player.

Croatia be proud of this player. The best croatian player since Goran Ivanisevic Best wishes to him from Germany

[minhinmonterey]

they should teach little kids tennis with videos of cilic.

[surfjabroni]

Why doesn't Cilic mix it up with serve & volley? He has the height, reach, balance, kick serve and good volley skills. He could finish points so much more quickly.

[abcjc1]

Mel gibson isnt the only one with a lethal weapon :)

[ez44567]

this was definitely one of Cilic best match in his career, Murray got smashed off the court :)

[MaratSafinVideos]

Murray is such a sore loser when he isn't losing to Nadal, Federer or Djokovic. Always gives embarrassingly sour handshakes.

[ruaridh2k7]

@Rafathaman94 No Hamiltoncheater is right Murray had a wrist injury. I'm not just saying that's an excuse because I personally found that he could've actually beaten Murray if he was fresher(at the AO). Although I don't see how it takes him 5 sets to beat a wrist hampered Del Potro and an only serve player like Roddick.

[BrotherTree1]

@Rafathaman94 lol...I mean u gotta think the outside variables lol. Not everyone hates murray -- too bad that includes the commentators

[BrotherTree1]

Who cares what people think, I fucking love watching Murray die in any shape or form. Case closed.

[kdbq126]

My back hurts just watching Cilic serve n_n

[BrainSane237]

@kdbq126 I always think that too...

Watching that arching back is so... What's the opposite of ergonomic? :D

[kdbq126]

@BrainSane237 Unergonomic :D

[Impulsensx]

The usual m.o. for Murray, how many times do these "oh he was injured" fanatics need to see him get taken to the cleaners by some big hitter in a major before they accept it's not gonna happen. And when Murray happens to get a kind draw to avoid one of these big hitters, he loses to the likes of Fed or Nadal in the last couple of rounds in a major. I mean in his only two slam finals he was unable to take a set off Fed, and in his two other semis, both at Wimby, Roddick and Nadal were too good.

[ArjunJethwa]

@Rafathaman94 Murray was not injured, as far as I remember he was leading the way on titles for 2009...but I know you have seen hours of Murray highlights and you can see from this video he's just slicing his way to the loss. When Murrays game is ON with aggression and defence mixed well = AO 2010 Result.

[dwilliams02]

I know! Haha I've been searching for some decent highlights of this match forever. Now I have to wait for the damn thing to load... But I guess I can manage waiting for another few minutes lol

[Hamiltoncheater]

Super ultra performance by Marin Čilić,but let's be realistic..Andy had wrist injury,that's why he lost to Čila

[davd1986]

@Hamiltoncheater What was the excuse when he lost to Wawrinka this year?

[Hamiltoncheater]

@davd1986

okey,I don't like Murray...I am Croat,I like Čila..but to be honest..Murray was injured...

Against Wawrinka..who knows..too much pressure on Andy..

[ownthelaws]

Cilic just a poor man's Del Potro. No actually, a tramp's Del Potro.

[BrotherTree1]

@ownthelaws too true. I mean in AO, del Potro's wrist was so badly injured -- and it still took Cilic to beat him in need of all 5 tight sets. He's no where in the league of del Potro.

[Cilicfan85]

Go Marin

[AnastasiaFoxy]

It was great match for Cilic. Marin, why you can't play now like that?

[swissmaestro45]

@AnastasiaFoxy I think he would've beaten Murray in Australia had he not been so spent. He played like three five-setters prior to that match.

[AnastasiaFoxy]

@swissmaestro45

Yeah, but I meant not only his match against Murray in AO.

He shows not so good game on the last period. :(

[BrotherTree1]

@swissmaestro45 true. i reckon cilic has the ideal game to defeat murray.

[kmpiano1]

@AnastasiaFoxy I know!!!

I think he belongs to the "giants" group and look at Delpo, already a US open champion...

I think a lot has to do with the mental toughness as well...
