Marin Cilic fights back to down Novak Djokovic in Queen's Club final

Marin Cilic saved a match point before beating Novak Djokovic to win his second title at Queen's Club.

The 29-year-old Croat on Sunday fought back to win the Fever-Tree Championships 5-7 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 in the longest final in the tournament's history.

Cilic, who won the title in 2012 and was runner-up last year, saved match point at 5-4 in the second set and came back from 4-1 down in the tie-break.

His serve was crucial in the final set as he won in two hours and 57 minutes, says a BBC report.

"It was a special win for me because last year I had a match point and didn't convert it," said Cilic.

"It was a tough match, with no breaks for me until the final set."

Former world number one Djokovic, seeking to secure his first title since winning at Eastbourne last year, was upbeat despite his loss.

"I have to congratulate Marin on a fantastic week," said Djokovic, who was playing in the tournament for the first time in 10 years.

"He deserved to win and came up with some big shots. It's a tough loss for me. But I have to see the positive because I haven't played a final in almost a year."
