Marin Cilic eases into last 16 of Shanghai Masters

Marin Cilic booked his place in the third round of the Shanghai Masters this afternoon thanks to a 6-1 6-2 victory over fellow Croat Borna Coric.

World number 14 Cilic saved a match point during his first-round encounter against Wu Di yesterday, but it was much more straightforward for the 27-year-old this time around.

He broke his young opponent twice during the first set and then mimicked that in the second set to secure his win in a little over one hour.

Cilic will now take on either Viktor Troicki or French Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka for a place in the quarter-finals.
