Two of the most interesting players advance to the Rotterdam second round.
Cilic
Marin has just won the tournament in Zagreb and now he has defeated Rosol 6-2 6-2. The Croat was always on top of his game to comment “In the first couple of games it was about getting used to the conditions. I then started to mix up my returns and he made some critical errors. I served very well and it was a solid match. Last week helped me a lot, playing five matches in a row at home. It gave me a lot of confidence. I always like playing indoors and I hope to continue to improve my game.”
Cilic will play seed no.5 Jo-Wilfred Tsonga in the next round. Head to head is 2-1 for Cilic.
Gulbis
World no.24 Mad Max Gulbis defeated Dennis Istomin 6-4 7-6 (4) in 90 minutes. The Latvian will play either Grigor Dimitrov or Dmitri Tursunov in the next round.
