Andy Murray and Marin Cilic are set to meet in the quarter finals of 2011 Queens Club event in London.
They have played each other 6 times previously and the Scot holds a 5-1 winning record. Cilic’s only win came at the US Open in 2009, with Murray one of the favourites for the title it was a surprise loss especially when the Croat dispatched Murray in straight sets.
Since then Murray has beaten Cilic twice most notably in the semi final of the 2010 Australian open. That performance was Cilic best grand slam run and although Cilic took the first set, Murray came back to win the match.
There only meeting on grass was way back in 2007 during a world group play off match in the Davis Cup, when a young 20 year old Murray beat an even younger 18 year old Cilic.
