Roger Federer next match: Federer vs Cilic head to head

The last time Roger Federer and Maric Cilic met was for the 2018 Australian Open. Federer won in five sets, which is also his most recent title. The two athletes have met ten times, Federer leading with wins. The Croatian has won once – the 2014 US Open semifinals. "When it comes to Roger, he will certainly perfectly use the break like he has always done," Cilic said while speaking to a newspaper. 


He spoke about Federer's comeback, and how "fascinating" both Rafael Nadal and Federer look. “Let’s recall how many injuries has Nadal had and whenever he makes a comeback – they rarely lose to a player he isn’t supposed to lose to and who isn’t his rival, Federer especially". 
 


“I always struggle early on with my returning a little bit on clay, I do not mind the grass-court and hardcourt returns, as I am blocking it more than hitting it, I felt today I really made a bigger effort of going more in swing,” Federer after his latest win, who cruised past Istomin without committing a double fault.
