A match between two players that are playing quite different tennis...way of playing which is performed by Cilic fits best for hard courts (although he has some nice results also on clay) and the way how Starace is playing best and only fits for clay courts. Also in addition to say that beyond the fact that Starace is prone to clay courts also he is in great form playing good tennis on clay in 2008 winning challenger in Napoli, reaching quarter final in Valencia, playing good match with Nadal in Barcelona.

I watched Cilic against Mathieu in Muenchen where in long rallies Cilic was inferior and after some ball exchange he made errors...he won a set in that match only because Mathieu lack of concentration (from my point of view that match should end 2:0 for Mathieu).

In match between Cilic and Starace I am expecting similar scenario where in ball exchange e Cilic can not beat Starace... Only what I am afraid of is Cilic serve...because he can serve very well and because of that is possible that match goes in tie breaks (where everything is possible)...but according to Cilic performance in Muenchen I do not expect some great serving.

In addition it is important to stress out that Starace is playing in front of own crowd and this will be additional impulse for him...
