What was such a pisser is Sam had just won a challenge to reverse a service winner.

True, I forgot about that.

For anyone who missed the 1st set, you can skip to 4-3 in the tiebreaker. That's when it got interesting.

They've both had some better looks at breaking in this set but haven't capitalized.

Monster hold by Sam to go up 3-2 in the 2nd, even though he still can't find his first serve. It looks a little windy out there.

Sam dodges some bullets to hold.

Sam will have to start mixing in a few droppers. Cilic is dialed in from the baseline.

This could get ugly fast for Sam. Cilic dominating outside of two mishits in tiebreak

Good call. This 1st serve is doing no damage.

2nd serve too predictable too. Kicker to Cilic's backhand on the ad side every time, and it has no action on the grass.

Another escape by Sam from 0-40 wow.

His only hope is to win 2 more tiebreaks. Cilic is breezing through his service games. Sam is barely making it through his

Great call. Exactly what I was thinking. Just got to squeak out service games and maybe Cilic gets a bit tired and drops off down the line.

Damn, I didn't think the three 5-setters for Sam would be an issue since they were all roughly 3 hours, but they may be affecting him on serve.

The drop off from Sams first set serves to this point has been huge, all those 5 set games is taking its toll?

Impressive from Sam there. I was worried Cilic was about to start rolling.

I have to say, Cilic has been hitting some world-class returns.
