Croatia’s remaining two hopes in the Australian Open have both been knocked out today in the 3rd round. Croatia’s number one tennis player Marin Cilic went down in a 5-set marathon to world number 23 Andreas Seppi from Italy 6-7, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2.
9th seed for the tournament Richard Gasquet was too strong for Ivan Dodig, winning 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(2), 6-0. Cilic will have chance for revenge against Seppi when Croatia face Italy in the Davis Cup early next month.
