This is over, terrible first serves. And losing all the rallies .
Big miss by Cillic on second serve
Hard work for that first game. 
Huge game from Federer.
Great backhand, hopefully the turning point.
Be interesting to see if that game almost hits the reset button or whether Cilic continues to shoot the lights out.
Delighted. Federer should work for his grand slam. This tournament he's had alot of easy guys.
Big hold
Federer need more first serves to go in..
My heart can't stand this on a Sunday morning. Fed...
Don't get this last challenge.
Federer nets every single aggressive backhand return, every single one.
Cilic is too good right now.
Federer, that old fox.
Break out of nowhere, of course.
Means nothing if Federer can't get more first serves in.

Some of the breaks in this match have been really weird. Totally against the run of play and without any real signs it was coming.
Wow, break despite that Cilic is playing better. Come on Cilic, have a mental breakdown now.
Please hold your serve Roger..
Shocking miss by Cillic there
Whatever happens, good match, Marin.
What a battle this is now.
3 more holds, 3 more holds....
C'mon FED!!!
That should be it. Cilic's chance was in first game when he had opportunity to break.
One more break and it could be over
Thank God for that.
I can barely look. The state of Federer's service games at the moment
Wish he could get a second break if at all possible as I'm not trusting him at the moment.

Hopefully Cilic starts swinging like Djoko in the US Open Semi in 2011 and this match doesn't finish for another five hours.
Each service game is a struggle for Fed, big hold there but it's not hard to see Cilic breaking back at some point.
Federer stretching more than usualy before serving, hope the back is ok.
Let me be the first one to say it...Federer got this.
Much more like it!
Maybe he forgot to stretch for his previous service games.
Looks like Cilic dug so deeply in the 4th that he doesn’t have much juice left for the 5th.
2 now. 8 aces please!
This was classic Fed.
I said it 2.5 hours ago. Do keep up.
What a second serve that was!
Keep calm Rog. He needs to go all out this upcoming game and try to put some pressure on Cilic's serve if at all possible.

Feels like that was the first time in an hour that Federer got time to set up a forehand mid rally.
Cilic's fallen apart now
