Cilic Falls To Qualifier At Roland Garros

Tenth seed Marin Cilic is out at Roland Garros. The World No. 11 fell to Argentine qualifier Marco Trungelliti 7-6(4), 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. Trungelliti, No. 166 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, broke the Croat seven times to earn his second win at a Grand Slam.

The 26-year-old Buenos Aires resident, who was making his Roland Garros debut, had qualified and reached the second round of the 2016 Australian Open. He will face Horacio Zeballos or Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the second round.

Cilic seemed prepared to reach the second round at Roland Garros for the fifth consecutive year. The 27 year old made the final of the Banque Eric Sturdza Geneva Open on Saturday, losing to Stan Wawrinka in two competitive sets. Earlier in the season, however, the Grand Slam champion had struggled with an injury to his right knee that forced him to miss three clay-court ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments.
