Title defender Tommy Robredo and qualifier Pablo Cuevas
will play in the finals of 25. Vegeta Croatia Open.
Robredo defeated the best Croatian tennis player Marin Čilić in two
sets (7:6, 6:3) at the ATP Stadium. During the first set, which
Robredo won 12-10 in tie break, Čilić missed seven match points,
five of them on his own serve. The loss in the first set visibly
upset him, so at one point during the second set he broke his
racket. Robredo made a break right at the beginning of the second
set and kept it until the end. In the ninth game he had three match
points on his own serve and he seized the first one.
In the finals Robredo will play against Pablo Cuevas from
Uruguay, who defeated the first seed Fabio Fognini thus
continuing the impressive streak which begun in Bastad and marked
his twentieth victory in a row. After he won the first set 6:3,
Cuevas took the lead in the second set with 2:0, but Fognini then
won four games in a row. Just when it seemed like the Italian was
on his way to turn the match around, Cuevas made a comeback with
four games in a row and secured the second final of an ATP
tournament in two weeks.
