Marin Cilic Beated Off Sam Querry 6-3,3-6,6-3 In The Semis Of AEGON Championship and will now Face David Nalbandian In the Final.After missing the first seven weeks of the season with a knee injury, Cilic has gradually rediscovered his form and his shot-making ability eventually wore down Querrey. Sixth seed Cilic was soon under pressure in windy conditions, but he showed remarkable resolve to fend off nine break points in an epic third game that lasted 20 minutes. Querrey, who needed treatment on his right thumb midway through the first set, initially seemed shell-shocked by his failure to convert so many break opportunities. He struggled to find any rhythm and a tame forehand from the American on the first of three break points handed Cilic the chance to serve out the set. Querrey finally recovered his equilibrium in the second set and began to put pressure on Cilic with a break in the second game. Cilic responded with a break of his own in the next game, but Querrey took the set after breaking for a second time. A double-fault by Querrey on break point gifted Cilic a 2-0 lead in the final set. Querrey appeared to have earned a lifeline when he broke back with Cilic just two games from victory, but the Croatian responded superbly, breaking again and then serving out the win.
