Chile finished his magnificent performance in Australia with a loss but from tomorrow he will climb to third place in the world rankings. US Open champion 2014 lost second Grand Slam final.
Chilich started stiffly his third Grand Slam final in the career. The nerves were evident in every single stroke of his first game. The Croatian service did not allow for any play, but after his second serve and a winning hit by Backhand Federer came to a breakthrough. Chilich saved himself with the Hawk system for a short while, but when the point was replayed, he was wrong to hit the head.
The game followed zero, and after 10 consecutive points, Roger led with 40:0 at the serve of the opponent. Marin reached a winning point before handing over the game. Seconds later, the Swiss man led 4:0. At this stage, Chilich had made 9 unintentional mistakes, and Roger was in perfect rhythm and pressure, taking the ball early and not giving him time to react.

The first set, however, was long over and Federer officially put his end in only 24 minutes from the start of the match according today predictions at 6:2. He lost only two points on his serve in the first part.
At the start of the second set, Croat looked different. His service was more stable, he moved a little better on the court and started attacking the clock. After several excellent games, Chillic has come to two breakthroughs. But Roger was ready, save the first with the ace and the second with the forehand on the straight. After four consecutive points, the game was won by him and the result equaled 1:1.
