LONDON (AP) In pain and in tears, Marin Cilic never really had a chance.
The big-serving Croat played with a blister on his left foot in Sunday’s Wimbledon final against Roger Federer. Cilic looked good for a while, but the injury quickly got worse as Federer quickly got better and won 6-3, 6-1, 6-4.
”It was definitely one of the unfortunate days for me,” Cilic said after losing on Centre Court. ”Fluid just came down under my callous in the foot. … Every time I had to do a reaction fast – fast change of movement – I was unable to do that.
