After the first Grand Slam tournament of the year was the Australian Open 2021 closed, the new season continued with the ATP 250 tournament taking place, Singapore Open 2021.
Although the professional qualifications of Singapore Open are underestimated than Australia expanded, the drama is not inferior to any major tournament.
On the evening of February 26, in the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 Singapore Open, the No. 3 seed Marin Cilic had a dramatic encounter with No. 8 Kwon Soon-Woo.
In set 1, Cilic proved overwhelming when continuously winning the break to gain an advantage before entering set 2 when winning set 1 with a score of 6-2.
But in Set 2, the former US Open 2014 champion was “slipped without braking” and lost 2-6 quickly to the 23-year-old Korean opponent ranked 81 in the world.
However, the No. 3 seeds quickly regained his spirit, and a little luck helped him break the last game Soon-woo to serve thanks to an impressive serve, forcing the player from the land of Kim Chi to make a mistake from beating before the Croatian star won 7-5.
The hard victory over Soon-Woo helped Cilic to enter the semi-finals of this year's Singapore Open to confront the Australian “unknown” Alexei Popyrin in the scheduled match at 14:00 this afternoon (February 27, Vietnam time).
