Top Seed Cilic Meets Resurgent Djokovic in London Final FEVER-TREE CHAMPIONSHIPS: DAY 7 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, 24 June 2018 The Queen’s Club | London, England | 18-24 June 2018 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: €1,983,595 | Surface: Grass ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com Fever-TreeChampionships.co.uk Mark Epps: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @QueensTennis Press Officer: [email protected] Facebook: @ATPWorldTour @QueensTennis TV & Radio: TennisTV.com TOP SEED CILIC MEETS RESURGENT DJOKOVIC IN LONDON FINAL • 2012 Queen’s Club champion and No. 1 seed Marin Cilic must battle a familiar foe to claim a second Fever-Tree Championships trophy, when he takes on wild card and former World No. 1 Novak Djokovic on Sunday. Djokovic has dominated Cilic in their head-to-head, emerging victorious 14 straight times from 2008 through 2015. Cilic, however, finally claimed a win in their 15th and most recent meeting, in the quarter-finals of the ATP Masters 1000 at Paris-Bercy in 2016. • Making his 12th straight appearance at Queen’s Club, Cilic is into the final for the fourth time in his career, including a runner-up finish last year. The World No. 6 has reached his second final of the season, following his third career Grand Slam final at the Australian Open in January (l. to Roger Federer). The Croatian has made it through the draw with stellar serving statistics, having won 45 of his 46 service games during the week, and leading the field in points won on first serve (90%). • Djokovic, meanwhile, is into his first singles final since winning the Eastbourne title on 1 July 2017, nearly a full year ago. Back from a right elbow injury earlier in the season, Djokovic will try to surpass his previous best result at Queen’s Club, a runner-up finish ten years ago. Like Cilic, Djokovic has dropped serve only once in the tournament, winning 36 out of his 37 service games during the week. Djokovic picked up his 800th singles match win with his quarter-final victory over Adrian Mannarino before moving into the 99th singles final of his career. • The doubles final pits defending champions Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares against Henri Kontinen and John Peers. Soares also won this title in 2014 (with Alexander Peya), beating the team of Murray and Peers in the final. All four players featured in this encounter have been ranked in the Top 2 of the ATP World Tour doubles rankings at some point during their careers (Kontinen and Murray are both former World No. 1 players).

Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo.

  • 2019 Roland Garros Day 3 Men's Notes
    2019 ROLAND GARROS DAY 3 MEN’S NOTES Tuesday 28 May 1st Round Featured matches No. 5 Alexander Zverev (GER) v John Millman (AUS) No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) v Nicolas Jarry (CHI) No. 9 Fabio Fognini (ITA) v Andreas Seppi (ITA) No. 10 Karen Khachanov (RUS) v Cedrik-Marcel Stebe (GER) No. 14 Gael Monfils (FRA) v Taro Daniel (JPN) No. 18 Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) v Steve Johnson (USA) No. 22 Lucas Pouille (FRA) v (Q) Simone Bolelli (ITA) (Q) Stefano Travaglia (ITA) v Adrian Mannarino (FRA) On court today… • France’s top 2 players begin their Roland Garros campaigns today, with Gael Monfils up against Taro Daniel on Court Philippe Chatrier and Lucas Pouille playing Simone Bolelli on Court Suzanne Lenglen. Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.
