Fantastic shots against Stan. Stay healthy-Cilic next-all the best💪👏👊👍🤗🍀❤️
Go get him. One of my least favorite players on the tour, due to his persistent choke performances against Federer.
Good luck to Rafa. Show Cilic he cannot beat an in-form Rafa.

Rafa all the very best for your game tonight against Cilic.
