Nishikori vs Cilic predictions, tips, odds and free bets (US Open Men's Final - September 8, 2014)
- Written by David Bet
Both the world number one and tournament favorite Novak Djokovic and legend Roger Federer knocked out by the underdogs and now Kei Nishikori and Marin Cilic will contest the US Opne Men's Tournament Final! Find below our Nishikori vs Cilic betting preview, including tips, predictions, best odds, free bets and no deposit bonuses.
It will be the first Grand Slam final since the Australian Open 2005 (where Marat Safin defeated Lleyton Hewitt), without Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic.
En route to the final Cilic beat the likes of Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych without dropping a set; whereas, Nishikori had to endure encounters against Milos Raonic and Stan Wawrinka. The Japanese pulled off an incredible result when he defeated Novak Djokovic in 4 sets in the semis, especially considering that he was on the back of 2 exhausting 5 set wins against Raonic and Wawrinka.

Looking at their head-to-head record, you have to think Nishikori is the favorite. He leads 5-2 overall, and he’s won their last three meetings, two of which took place in 2014. They’ve played twice at the U.S. Open, and split those matches—Cilic won the most recent one, in 2012, in four sets. Nishikori lost in the first round of the US Open last year, while Cilic didn’t even take part in the tournament.
Cilic had 43 winners to only 23 unforced errors in the match against Federer while hitting 13 aces and only one double fault. He completely took the racket out of Federer's hand. However, Cilic’s serve has abandoned him completely in his last two meetings against Nishikori this year. His percentage of first serves in play dropped below 50 percent on both occasions – including an ugly 11-double-fault showing in Brisbane earlier this year.
While Nishikori has always had the talent but the physical fragility, Cilic has always been known for his mental fragility. But both players are playing their best tennis here in New York and the match will be very tough to call.
