After the draw, it became clear that our compatriot’s first rival was the former world’s third rocket Marinas Čiličius (ATP-40), with whom the Lithuanian has unaccounted accounts.
On the center court of Wimbledon in 2015, R. Berankis posed a very serious challenge to the Croatian who was playing race tennis at the time, and only after a grueling 5-set fight until the third stage of the tournament did M.Čiličius made way.

So far it was the only tennis match on the ATP tour.
Although M.Čiličius’ resume looks impressive, Vilnius should not fear such a competitor, because in recent seasons the long-term leader of the Croatian team has been showing very average results.
In the past, M. Čiličius won the US Open tournament (2014) and became the strongest in the Masters series tournament in Cincinnati (2016).
The winner of the duel in the eighth final of the tournament will be the cup with the Spanish Alejandro Davidovichius Fokina (ATP-70) or one of the classified tennis players.
Famous players such as Alexander Zverev (ATP-7), Andy Murray (ATP-111), Felix Auger-Aliassime (ATP-22) or Robert Bautista-Agut (ATP-10) will also participate in the tournament.
