The rich vein of form that Croatia’s number one tennis player Marin Cilic has been enjoying has come to an end in the quarter-finals of the Sony Open in Miami at the hands of US Open holder, Scot Andy Murray.
World Number 2 Murray proved too good for world number 11 Cilic, wining 6-4, 6-3 in 1 hour and 42 minutes in windy conditions.
‘He fought unbelievably well at the end, with long games and long points. I didn’t play particularly aggressively on the match points, which is something I’ll have to do better in my next match,’ said Murray after defeating the tall Croat.
