LONDON (AP) Even in defeat, Marin Cilic is being talked about as a contender for the Wimbledon title.
The sixth-ranked Croat, who won the U.S. Open in 2014, lost a close three-set match to Feliciano Lopez in the final at Queen’s. But there was a still a sense that he was one of the men to beat next week at the All England Club.
”It’s interesting that he (Lopez) won a tournament and I’m the favorite,” Cilic said. ”I’m playing really well, and especially the last few months. For me, I’m keeping my feet on the ground.
