Points won by each set: | 26-11, 29-14, 28-14 |
Points won directly behind the serve:
35 % Djokovic – 20 of 56
18 % Cilic – 12 of 66
A brutal loss for the defending champion who had some problems with his ankle. The match lasted only 1 hour 25 minutes, Cilic won the fewest games in the US Open semifinals in the Open Era, but a shorter semifinal occurred in 2001 as Lleyton Hewitt defeated Yevgeny Kafelnikov 6-1, 6-2, 6-1 in 83 minutes. Djokovic has now improved his H2H vs Cilic to 14-0. In the photo Djokovic playing an overhead with his backhand – his only winner at the net that day…
