56 minutes to just eight games are proof of how hard it was the first part of the game despite what the scoreboard indicated. Nadal began the clash of the best possible way, with an initial break in a game which saw down and ended up winning 40-0. The Spaniard took advantage of the low efficiency of Cilic on his first serve and unforced errors concatenation of this in the early stages, to take an advantage, although difficult to manage, earned Rafa to play with relative ease. Sought to move his opponent, who bend down its 198 feet high with cut shots and moves from side to side of the track address changes. He saved the ball on the break that occurred at key moments, took effect two of the four ball break and knew that putting more twist when the sleeve as required.

Cilic endured for the duration of mental strength

The party, which was more tense that attractive, as he won in the second act. Rafa was forced to play with first serves because the danger of the rest increased Cilic. The Croat looked right strongly Nadal, his weak point when preparing his defense, while the pattern of the Balearic spent by moving to its rival. The two had their options for the rest, but Rafa was always key in the eighth game he managed to break the equality. He was solid from the back and suffered again to close the Croat, who finished giving a new break with a double fault.

The latest data from the 1000 Masters final in Rome last year, where Rafa beat David by a score set but finally got the enterprise.

Cilic endured in the game until it allowed its fuel. Both physically and mentally, and I must get into the skin of a player who thinks back from two sets side by the number 1. Rafa was not to the great days, but it gave the impression of having improved substantially. Waited for the moment, which came in the seventh game to give the final blow. The last points of the match was a love and I can not 7-5 and 6-2.
