BEST MARIN CILIC VS KEI NISHIKORI PREDICTION

Kei Nishikori to win
Tipped at: 2.41 - 5th Sep 12:37
This clash between Marin Cilic and Kei Nishikori will be the revenge of the US Open 2014 final, when Kei Nishikori did all the work, with Milos Raonic (eighth), Stan Wawrinka (quarterfinal) and Novak Djokovic (semi-final) only to lose easily in the decisive final for the title (3-6 3-6 3-6). These two days have faced several times in recent seasons, but that battle at the US Open 2014 was the most important match in their respective careers. Although No. 7 in the world Marin Cilic has been one of the protagonists in the Grand Slam tournaments in recent seasons, this is only the first time he has reached three quarters of the Grand Prix in a single season. On Wednesday, Marin Cilic will play for the first time a quarter-final at the US Open after beating Jo Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals in an attempt to defend his title in 2015. Overall, he has a 2/2 quarter-final record of this tournament, with two defeats against Juan Martin Del Potro in 2009 and against Andy Murray in 2012. The Japanese No. 1 Kei Nishikori, who finished the 2017 season shortly after the Canadian Open (due to the operation on his wrist) and was not able to participate in the US Open, got a perfect record of 2-0 at the quarter finals, having defeated Andy Murray in 2016 and Stan Wawrinka in 2014. Earlier this year, Japanese No. 1 began the season with a first-round defeat against Dennis Novikov at Newport Beach challenger; however, in the following months, he did very well coming second at the Masters of Monte Carlo, reached the semi-final at the ATP in New York and the quarterfinal at Wimbledon.
Marin Cilic is undefeated in 4 consecutive matches

Marin Cilic to win 1st set
Tipped at: 1.75 - 4th Sep 11:38
Rematch of 2014 final is happening on Wednesday and I have hard time calling this one. Leaning towards Cilic because he's got more dominant game despite being error prone as well. Also, he has won 3 of the last 4 meetings and 3 of 4 matches they have contested in Slams. He is 2-1 vs Kei at Flushing Meadows and only loss was 5-setter. As we know so well, Nishikori is a beast in deciding sets. If Cilic can prevent another long match, he has a chance. My favorite bet in this rivalry is backing Cilic to win the first set. The main reason for this is the fact that Nishikori is a notorious slow starter and tends to play poorly in early parts of the matches only to work his way into contest. Cilic is 3-0 in 1st set matches vs Kei played in NYC and 4-0 in Slams overall. In 14 matches they have contested across all levels, the opening set has gone to Cilic on 9 occasions. Those are very strong trends.

US Open, Cilic playing against Nishikori. This should be a good match, any of the sides can win this match and it should be a long match. Cilic is the best player, but leas match he had a huge struggle against De Minaur, so this match will be tough to him. We should see at least four sets, maybe even five, so we will have many games on this match, this bet worth well the money and is a good one indeed, as the games will happen easily. Iwill be placing a medium size stake on this match, this is the best choice on this match

The US open is coming into its final stages and more tough matches for prediction are ahead of us. Cilic will be facing nishikori and it could go either way, but cilic is a slight favorite. I do not think the match will end in 3 sets, so i think it is definitely worth the risk for going for 3:1 win for cilic at these odds. Those that do not want to risk too much should try with over the margine games unless the margin is set too high, since every set will be 10+ games for sure. Good luck
Marin Cilic has met Marin Cilic 2 times, resulting in 1-1 Head to Head

The second game for today's quarter final game in the ongoing Men's US Open tournament sees Kei Nishikori takes on Marin Cilic in what should be a very entertaining clash for spectators. Both players have had interesting run up to this point in this tournament and will be very motivated to make it amongst the last 4 in this tournament. Both players have had commanding results up to this point, making this encounter a tough clash. In the last round, Marin Cilic whooped Goffin 7-6, 6-2, 6-4 while Kei Nishikori kept up his impressive performance by thrashing Phillip Kohlschreiber 6-3, 6-2, 7-5.

Grand slam us open between Marin Čilić and Kei Nishikori . It is hard to me to predict a winner but I'm confident in low level of games per set . In head to head games between those two they taking each other game often . It's very interesting that we saw under 10.5 in first set in last 10/11 all head to head games on this surface . Last 10/20 games of Marin Čilić on this surface had less than 10.5 games in first set . And in last 13/20 Kei games on this surface had under . Good luck!
