Cilic, Ancic reach Zagreb semifinals
February 6, 2009
Croatians Marin Cilic and Mario Ancic reached the semifinals Friday at the Zagreb Indoors, the first European event on the 2009 ATP Tour.
Cilic, seeded second, defeated Antonio Veic 6-2, 7-6 (8-6) to run his match record this season to 11-1. Cilic’s only loss came at the Australian Open.
Ancic coasted past Ivan Dodig 6-1, 6-3. Cilic will meet Viktor Troicki in the semifinals and Ancic will take on Jan Hernych.
Hernych had a 5-4 lead over Mischa Zverev in the first set when Zverev retired. Troicki was a 6-3, 6-2 winner over Sergiy Stakhovsky, who was playing in the quarterfinals of a tour event for the first time since winning in Zagreb last year.
