Marin Cilic is yet to lose a set this week in Munich, though he’s been tested in both of his matches. He earned a berth in the quarter-finals by defeating Horacio Zeballos 6-3, 7-6(7) in round two. The world No. 21 is looking to go one-better than last year when he lost in the final to Mikhail Youzhny, but he’s got a difficult task ahead of him. His next match will be against Nikolay Davydenko.

Davydenko hasn’t won a title this season, though it’s unlikely that he’ll go the whole year without adding to his extensive list of tournament successes. His start to the season hasn’t been particularly great, but everyone knows that the Russian is a formidable opponent when he’s on top form. If he can find his rhythm then this competition is certainly a winnable one for him.

Cilic has a 3-1 record against Davydenko heading into this match, though none of these matches took place on clay. Whilst Cilic holds the overall lead, the most recent contest between the pairing was won by Davydenko. This match took place in Beijing last season. Friday’s matchup isn’t an easy one to predict, and both players appear to have a decent chance of leaving the court with a victory.
