Cilic loses but still confident

MARIN Cilic insists he is primed to make a strong run for the Wimbledon title despite the frustration of his Queen’s Club final defeat against Feliciano Lopez.

Cilic was denied a second Queen’s crown in agonising fashion as the world No.7 failed to convert a match point in the final set tie-break before losing 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (10-8).

Roger Federer will arrive as Wimbledon favourite after maintaining his superb run by winning the Halle Open title in Germany.
