Cilic will face either top-seeded Robin Soderling of Sweden or unseeded Russian Dmitry Tursunov.

The unseeded Croatian double-faulted at 5-3 to face a match point, but saved it by slamming an ace.

Cilic rallied at 5-5 when Youzhny sent a backhand into the net and then clinched victory when a forehand from the Russian sailed long.
