In the second round of the ATP Pune tournament, Marin Cilic was pushed to the limit by the underdog Roberto Carballes Baena, but the outcome was never in doubt. He won 83% of first-serve points, served 16 aces, and completely dominated the first and third sets, 6-3 3-6 6-1. The top seed will play in his second consecutive quarterfinal in Pune on Thursday. In the quarterfinal of his 2018 ATP Pune debut, he dominated Pierre Hugues Herbert before falling to Gilles Simon in a set tiebreaker.
Tallon Griekspoor has played four sets so far in this ATP Pune campaign, with victories over Jaume Munar Clar in the first round and Marco Cecchinato in the second round, respectively, at scores of 6-4, 6-4, and 6-4. The Dutchman made his first-ever appearance in a quarterfinal on the main tour in Melbourne during the first week of 2022, but he was forced to withdraw from his matchup with the top seed and eventual champion Rafael Nadal.
