Marin Cilic eyes a third title of the year as he prepares to face Albert Ramos of Spain in the quarter-finals of the German Open Tennis Championships. Both players have shown some good form coming into this match and this too will be a good one.
Currently ranked as World No.15 on the ATP charts, Cilic has been rising the ranks slowly and steadily, courtesy some good, consistent performances. He recently won his second title of 2012 at the Croatia Open and would be hoping to make it 3 for this year. With a decent 20-10 win-loss record, Cilic reached the fourth-round of Wimbledon recently and has kept the momentum going strongly. He comes into this match with loads of confidence as his previous 2 matches were straight sets victories over his opponents and also a title behind his back.
His opponent, Ramos is ranked 46th in the world and has an even 19-19 win-loss record this year. With a last 8 stint at the Swedish Open last would give him some much needed confidence coming into this match as Cilic is really high on form right now. He struggled in his previous match as he progressed in three sets and would be hoping he can cause an upset here.
Their head-to-head favors the Spaniard as he took their only meeting last year in straight sets.
