Ruud 3-6 6-4 6-2 2-0 Cilic*
Once again, Cilic does all the hard work in the point and then fluffs what should be the easy winner.
Ruud doesn't need much more encouragement, a wonderful drop shot taking him to 40-15, before an ace wraps up a comfortable hold.

Whoops.
A wild shank from Marin Cilic drags Casper Ruud to 30-30 on the Croat's serve, and then Ruud produces another beauty of a low, sliced backhand to earn a break point at the first opportunity.

It's 15-15 as Cilic misses an angled forehand, before he then sends another beauty into the corner of the court.
Long goes a Cilic backhand, though, and it hands Ruud a set point.

*Ruud 3-6 6-4 5-2 Cilic
Marin Cilic will be determined not to lose serve here.
He races out to a 30-0 lead before a missed forehand puts Casper Ruud on the board. The Croat has a couple of game points, though, before he sends a forehand long.
This doesn't quite have the rhythm back yet but Cilic holds firm, and Ruud sends a backhand long to hand his opponent a hold.
Ruud will have to serve this set out.

He's a game away from a two set lead.
