Big props to Kei Nishikori also. Wasn't even sure he would play & rips through the field with some stunning performances. Time will come.
— Darren Cahill (@darren_cahill) September 8, 2014
When Marin county Cilic got by Simon Sez in 5sets in rd of 16 then he reeled of 9sets on trot none went past 6-4, truly amazing effort
— Brad Gilbert (@bgtennisnation) September 9, 2014
I called Cilic scratchy 5-set W over Simon in brutal heat. Never dreamed he'd win next 9 sets and the #USOpen title. Tremendous work.

.@cilic_marin is the first Croat to win a major since his coach, Goran #Ivanisevic, won Wimbledon in 2001. #usopen pic.twitter.com/0yCwszur0O
