Marin Cilic: 'I'm happy John Isner match is over'

Cilic: 'I'm happy Isner match is over'

Croatia's Marin Cilic has revealed his delight at finishing off his five-set Wimbledon encounter with America's John Isner in just two games after its resumption today.

With the two level at 10-10 in the fifth set, play was halted last night due to bad light. However, Cilic returned to court today and quickly secured a 7-6(4) 6-7(6) 6-4 6-7(4) 12-10 win.

"I was pleased to finish the match off, throughout I thought I was the one putting more pressure on returns," Cilic told BBC Sport.

"But you never know when it is a new day and new conditions. I was really pleased to break him at the first attempt."

Cilic will face another American, Denis Kudla, in the fourth round.
