IIRC, Cilic didn't miss a first serve in that tie-breaker, and for
someone with his big first serve, that should have made losing it nearly
impossible. But he lost it anyway.

Still, the match is young.

Querrey's forehand is a bit loopy, makes his grass game a little less effective than Cilic's. Also, Cilic is a better returner.

Cilic is getting frustrated now. The number of chances he has missed!

Cilic finally gets the break. Should win the second, has barely been challenged on his serve.

Well it's logical when he's playing a carbon copy of himself.

Indeed. Cilic just broke & leads 4-3 in 2nd.

Querrey isn't a carbon copy, except physically. Gamewise, he's clearly
inferior to Cilic. Cilic has cleaner groundstrokes, particularly on the
backhand side and on return of serve.

Querrey is a #25 player playing over his head this event. Cilic still
has 80% chance to win the match, even down a set.

If Querry can reach tiebreaks anything can happen.

I agree overall Cilic has more game & can produce stunners Sam can't,
but Querrey is stepping up & looking like he belongs out there. With a
bit of luck going his way he could pull it off. I'd say it's 60-40 for
Cilic, so really can go either way.
