Cilic is clearly feeling the pressure atm. Dropped 2 points to deuce out of nowhere.

If Fed keeps returning well he'll make mistakes.
 
So typical of these players. Can't take advantage of their own BP and go tamely give it away in the very next game. This will be done in under 2 hours.
Hope so.
 
Need Murray and Djoko to come back well rested for the USO. After the competitive heights of the Aussie Open, RG and Wimbledon have been way too straightforward.

By these players you mean not top players I presume. Even I wonder why the entire field can't be filled with Federer and Nadals. Everyone should be brilliant.
 
Looked like Cilic really lost confidence after missing out on that early break. Needs to go back to what he was doing in the first few games.
 
How's Cilic been? Think this could go 4 or 5 sets?

I'm likely to miss it all ffs

He started really well I thought.

Then he didn't take advantage of a break point and he's sort of collapsed since to be honest.

I want Federer to win of course but I want a competitive game.
 
Cilic started superbly but has fallen away big time.

Been going for too much imo. Should have played it a bit safe instead of always going big.
 
Cilic having a mare.
 
That's the mental difference between the Top 4 and the rest. One game where he gets broken and he completely falls apart. Federer isn't even having to play great stuff here to win this. He's going to win this without getting out of 3rd gear.
 
Oh shit, what's going on here. Cilic looks in trouble. He wouldn't be this upset if he wasn't in real trouble.

That's the way these big hitters play tbh. It's all or nothing and unfortunately for him it's the latter today. He was also serving at something like 49% which isn't going to cut it in a GS final.
 
Looks like he's done.
