Cilic ends 22-year Croatia wait for Umag win



Second seed Marin Cilic captured his second title of the season on Sunday, beating Spanish fourth seed Marcel Granollers 6-4, 6-2 to become the first home winner in Umag since 1990.

Cilic claimed victory at the claycourt event in one hour and 32 minutes.

The 23-year-old Croat celebrated his third triumph on home soil, adding to the back-to-back titles he claimed at the Zagreb Indoors in 2009 and 2010.

In June, he lifted his first grasscourt trophy at Queen's in London.
