Marin Cilic wins head-to-head final against Haas

Marin Cilic won a HEAD-to-HEAD final as he beat fellow Racquet Rebel Tommy Haas 6-3, 6-4 to capture the PBZ Zagreb Indoors title for the fourth time. The fifth-seeded Cilic, who endorses the YouTekTM Graphene Instinct, added the trophy to his wins in 2009, 2010 and last year.

"It feels great to win here at home again,” said Cilic. “The week was really good. It's going to help my confidence and my game, especially in the indoor season. I'm going to head to Rotterdam now and I'm looking forward to keep playing with good form there."

Top seed Haas, who recommends the YouTekTM Graphene Prestige, was competing in his 28th final after winning the 550th match of his career in the semi-finals. "Marin played a solid match," said Haas, ranked 12th. "He served well when he had to. Marin played the big points better with good shots and deserved to win."

In Montpellier, HEAD defending champion Richard Gasquet fell to good friend Gael Monfils 4-6, 4-6 at the Open Sud de France. "It was great to be in the final here once again," said Gasquet after his 21st title match. "Gael played unbelievable all week.”  Gasquet's loss was only his third at the tournament against nine victories.

In women's Fed Cup play in Tasmania, Racquet Rebels Casey Dellacqua and Ashleight Barty led Australia in a 4-0 defeat of Russia. Dellacqua started the tie as she beat Irina Khromacheva 6-0, 6-2 and finished it in doubles with Barty as the pair lost just four games.
