BREAK! - CILIC 6-4 6-1 3-6 6-7 4-3 FOGNINI. Fognini digs himself out of initial trouble with some big serving and lovely hands to somehow spin a crosscourt backhand pass beyond Cilic at the net. However, two stray forehands from deuce give the Croat the breakthrough. Can he finish the job from here?

CILIC 6-4 6-1 3-6 6-7 FOGNINI. Some quite magical play from Fognini to take the TB 7-4. He raised his game from 3-3 in the tie break as Cilic failed to take advantage of a weak second serve. The Italian conjured up three set points and got level when Cilic fired wide on the second one.

CILIC 6-4 6-1 3-6 6-6 FOGNINI. What nerve from Fabio. He hits back from 0-15, lands an eighth ace and a lovely drop shot to secure a spot in the tie break.
CILIC 6-4 6-1 3-6 6-5 FOGNINI. Cilic benefits from two overcooked drives to the baseline, but then fires down a double fault. A whopping forehand puts him back in control until he takes a very high overhead and misses it. A similar situation occurs on the next point, but this time he connects well and Fognini can't get it back. The Croat will at least play a tie break, but will hope for more as Fabio servers to try and stay in it once again.
CILIC 6-4 6-1 3-6 5-5 FOGNINI. Cilic tees up match point with a brutal forehand but then overcooks a return just long. Fognini is still in it!
