It's nice to see Cilic coming back and still playing top tennis. But let's be real, I'm old enough to have watched enough Cilic disappointment - 2-19 against Djokovic, 1-10 against Federer. Other than that one time he got Federer that led him to go on to win US Open, his game simply wilted against the likes of Djokovic. Even Andy Murray has a 12-3 h2h against Cilic.
Yea me too. Started the week off a bit rusty but he's playing great now. I'm a bit split on who I want to win the final. On one hand I want Zheng to get his first ATP title on the other hand I also want Cilic to win his comeback tournament.
Funny how both matches were won with some combination of the scoreline of 7-6 6-4. Cilic has so much easy power and can really hit sharp angles, and Zhang seems to be so very focused and dialed in. This final will be a treat. Shoutout to Bu for his breakout performance in this tournament and really taking it to Zhang. So much great hitting
I cant explain the amount of likeness i have for my boy Cilic hahahaha.. he has everything i like.. he got the age (i cheer for 👴🏻), got the blizzering fh, the down the line bh are crazy, no grunts, solid mental.. my boy returned gorgeously 👌🏻.. i hope he wins this 🎉
Awesome to see the Chinese representation! Zhang in the finals at Hangzhou and Shang in the finals at Chengdu. These two finals matchups are going to be bangers
Nakashima is young and should have more energy and speed, but Cilic outplayed him like a boss, that's the difference between top players and average, top players feel the game.
Love it when cilic celebrates by saying “sully sully”. I incorporate it in my matches too now haha! One of my favourites aesthetically pleasing players out there.
@@t-bone7988 It sounds maybe like "sale" or like you said "sully" but it is CARE and that would mean- EMPEROR. Car in English mean 🚗, but in Croatian it means emperor or ruler in let say ancient Rome. And letter C in Croatian doesnt sounds like K, rather similar to S in English. So when Marin hits good shot he sometimes say- CARE! You maybe think he said SULLY, but in fact it means emperor 😉
It has honestly been nothing but a shaky week for Marin up until this match. B Nak has been on fire recently and I think this will immensely help cilic from now on
Super je da se Čilke vratio i da se osjeća dobro na terenu. Užitak ga je gledati u ovakvom izdanju. Samo da ga se ozljede klone i možda ćemo još koju godinu-dvije imati u pojedinoj konkurenciji barem jednog igrača koji igra ozbiljan i kvalitetan tenis.
Nakashima played tentatively and kept giving him high bound balls which cilic likes because he's tall. Besides Nakashima had many chances but lost important points. Anyways 2 chinese men reaching ATP final on 2 different events is amazing. What happened to chinese mens tennis recently? They have improved like crazy.
Cilic has a stance where he can go hard cross or inside out easily. Nakashima did not have a read on where he was going to go with both forehand and backhand
He’s a pro, wouldn’t he be doing both in this case😂 I mean, he’s obviously on his game in this particular tournament, and he trains because, well, that’s just what you do as a touring professional🤷🏻♂️😂
Just shows where “Nextgen” Players are!! 😂 Cilic comes and just hits him off the court! Players 10 years ago were at much higher level than those Nakashimas and their friends!!! Ajdem!!!
@@sankuma4513: Zhang has a better chance against Milan for the title. Museti played some superb games. But methinks both matches will go distance, and it will take 3 sets to win 🥇
@@annatsai7631 I give 65-35 for Musetti to win due to the fact that he is the 1st seed and more experienced. But maybe like 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Cilic I give 60% chances to win against Zhang due to his experience but that can be close as well, maybe 7-6, 3-6, 6-4 to Cilic.
Sorry but the game is a complete mess and has been postponed!!! Nakashima wins the previous game against 21st place then loses against 373rd place at 1.30 to 3.60 odds Tie Breack 2: 4 in front serves and loses, I don't believe in something like that because there are too many coincidences at once
Younger viewers might just be realising what a fabulous player Cilic is.
A certified baller for sure. No one was touching him at USO '14, blasted Roger off the court.

Place 373 hahaha
I mean he is a slam winner and 3 more time GS finalist
@@alpinescope4441 ok, so? He's still a beast LOL he won a SLAM and is in the finals of an ATP tournament at his age
Cilic shows us that he is still there, and that he was an excellent player! Let's gooo Marin, go win the tournament now!
I think Zhang deserves it more to win his home tournament
@@DevitoMojitohe deserves it if he earns it.
It's so good to see Cilic back. I missed watching him play.

Cilic producing some serious power ❤
Cilic. in form is one of the most beautiful player to watch and one of the very best to ever play tennis !
I adore his style and powerful strokes!

Cilic as always one of the best players to watch just blasting winners all over the court

Cilic is great to watch when he’s on. Ripping lasers!
Cilic loves hard courts. His somewhat flat strokes to the corners are effective.
soo coll that Marin Cilic is back little by little after so tough times!
I've always loved how Cilic plays and I'm glad he's back! Hopefully he can win the whole thing ♥
What a level of Cilic !
Cilic is back, very good for tennis
Awesome to see the Chinese representation! Zhang in the finals at Hangzhou and Shang in the finals at Chengdu. These two finals matchups are going to be bangers
Should be an excellent final
we missed cilic this last years
Very impressive from Marin. Tako je!!! 👏
Super .cilic. great to see his comeback
Man, Nakashima is playing soooooolid though. Beautiful seeing tennis players actually caring and getting better and better. Props to him as his team!
Nakashima is young and should have more energy and speed, but Cilic outplayed him like a boss, that's the difference between top players and average, top players feel the game.
Marin is an exceptionally talented player and such a good person
Heartbroken, so happy for Cilic, but i want Zhang to have his first title, dude's a monster.
Welcome back, my Cilic! Great play.
Cilic is looking fire!
Imagine playing tennis at Cilic level with a 93 sq inch racket! 🤯
nice to see cilic...our medieval warrior... back!

Cilic is definition of Heavy Hitter. Proud to be Croat🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
Nakashima gotta improve that forehand. Seemed to be struggling a lot when cilic rushed him on the forehand side
he's Marinating! go Cilic
Cilic is so smooth
It has honestly been nothing but a shaky week for Marin up until this match. B Nak has been on fire recently and I think this will immensely help cilic from now on
Awesome, Wonderful And Well Done Cilic 👀👏👍🏽 💪
Cilic vs Zhang Final, who wins ?
Better player on that day 😉
Hope back with title Cilic but wont be easy final match. His body can hold it please in this final.
The level from bu and zhang was off the charts

Vidjet ćemo kako će se razvijati karijera Milija Poljička i Dina Prižmića, a možda se i Borna sabere...
Cilic is sooo good.
It amazes me how normal it is for men's groundstrokes to sound like gunshots, like having to counter and return that type of power is unbelievable...
Zhang’s racket. Is that his own edition, because that’s looking very cool!

Perfect choke from Nakashima in tie-break
This camera angle for some reason makes the player on the opposite side look short :D
First name majin
ZZZ ❤
awww my boy nakashima.... so close both sets. needs to regrouip
Cilic looks flawless--either he happens to be totally on his game, or he's been training.
He’s a pro, wouldn’t he be doing both in this case😂 I mean, he’s obviously on his game in this particular tournament, and he trains because, well, that’s just what you do as a touring professional🤷🏻♂️😂
@@Tennisisreallyfun I mean, he was no.3 in the world, was top 10 for a long time, and won a GS...so, he has talent still 😂
Is there no one there because covid? You'd think an all-China semifinal would fill the crowd.
What is zhang’s racket? Never seen that model
this racket is special editon of head radical designd for zhang
Interesting paint job on Zhang's racket, is it still a radical?
The commentator in a moment called Cilic "the Wimbledon champion", lol)))
The Kung Fu masters battle 😮
before this week, there was only one Chinese male player in an ATP final. Now within a week, there are 2 more Chinese players in ATP finals
张赢了但小球技术还有待提高
did they play Legends Never Die at the end there? Was not expecting to hear a League of Legends song lol
Marin the Mantis!!
What racket is Zhang using?
Wilson
Just shows where “Nextgen”
Players are!! 😂 Cilic comes and just hits him off the court! Players 10 years ago were at much higher level than those Nakashimas and their friends!!! Ajdem!!!
Cilic = 🐐
Zhang showing shades of Paradorn Srichaphan.
Cilic all the Way.

frick, really wanted Nakashima to win that
Why does Bu look like Sean Fujiyoshi (iykyk)
He is half Mongolian half Uyghur.

Not today sir, not today 😉
Zhang has bright future❤❤
Cilic 🙂
tsonga,ferrer berdych,gasquet,nalbandian... they all failed,but cilic no, he won a gs, even with fab 4 plus stan around.. now you know why
Who is the commentator? Vijay Amritraj?
Ravi Ubha I think
Bots moving out to mess up comments😂
🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Is it just me or are chinese courts so quick
1000 rotten tomatoes to the idiot producers who think that filming a tennis match from outer space is a great idea.
How do these tournaments make money when people don’t even show up for a semi-final match?
Terrible ambiance.

Two chinese are playing yet very low spectators 😂😂😂. China open badminton or any table tennis match more audience than this lol
there aren't very low spectators, put the glasses moron.
Buuuuu😂😂😂😂😂
BS tournament. Mostly empty stadium even in semifinals, even with home country players.
Have some fear if this sport get wide in the nation
Trash nakashima
