Interesting tournament in Zagreb. This tournament is played on indoor hard courts with a prize money of 410.200 euro.
As expected this event is packed with Croats (6, 3 of those are wildcards) and the first seed is the home favorite Marin Cilic that should get to the final agasint Andreas Seppi (seed no.2) unless a guy from Bulgaria (Dimitrov) will spoil the party.
There is an interesting match in the first round between baby Federer and Karlovic. The Croat will definitely try to edge Dimitrov with his serve.
