The 2014 US Open champion received a bye into the round of 16. He got off to a shaky start but what’s important is that the Croatian veteran managed to pick up the win.

The 29-year-old Roberto Carballes Baena faced Cilic in the round of 16 after defeating compatriot Bernabe Zapata Miralles in the first round. Cilic got off to a good start and wrapped up the first set in quick time. However, Carballes Baena managed to bounce back strongly in the second set and take the match to the decisive third set. Cilic used all his experience and bagged the third set without much fuss, much to the relief of his fans. The match ended 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in favor of Cilic.
