Cilic vs Otte Prediction

Cilic like to finish off points swiftly and does not participate in many protracted rallies. The Croat’s serve is a crucial tool that earns him many unearned points. Both players actually depend on their serves to help them win games. If the German is to win, he will need to perform at the peak of his game.
