Emil Ruusuvuori vs Marin Cilic Prediction: Expect a hard fought victory for Marin

Marin Cilic faces Emil Ruusuviori in a tight quarter final match. Both players have defeated tough opponents to make it to this stage and for the first time they meet each other. Cilic is the bookmakers favourite of course, but Ruusuvuori Emil deserves a win just as much as Marin do. Because Emil has won his last 4 singles leading up to this match. So Cilic knows he better not take him for granted.

Emil Ruusuvuori (WWWWL)

4 wins in 5 games is a very good record for Emil. Although it was a surprise he couldn't win a single set against Ivashka Ilya but look on the bright side; he did bounce back and went on to win 4 games in a row. His last match ended in a win against Draper Jack. Emil is well aware of the opposition in this match and knows he needs to be on top of his game here.

Marin Cilic (WWLWW)

Marin Cilic is a huge favourite here and it comes as no surprise. After all, he made it to the last 4 in Roland Garros and lost to a bigger player; Ruud Casper. Against Emil, he will feel more comfortable and will push for a win. He also has a great record with 4 wins in his last 5. Last time out, he beat Alexander Bublik (0-2). He is certainly in good spirits and full of confidence coming into this one.

Head to Head

Both players have no head to head record between them.
