Cilic wins; Kiefer falls in Munich

Tennis Betting Lines

05/06/2009 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-seeded Croat Marin Cilic was an easy second-round winner Wednesday, while German favorite Nicolas Kiefer exited the draw at the $595,000 clay-court BMW Open.

The rising world No. 15 Cilic handled German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-0, 6-4, while a sixth-seeded Kiefer bowed out against Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 7-6 (10-8) at MTTC Iphitos. Kohlschreiber titled here two years ago.

Another upset came when Russian Mikhail Youzhny, the 2007 runner-up to Kohlschreiber, doused third-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (7-2), 6-4, while seventh-seeded Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu avoided an upset with a 6-1, 6-4 handling of German Denis Gremelmayr.

Cilic will meet Chardy in Friday's quarterfinals, while Mathieu will encounter Youzhny.

In some second-round action here on Thursday, last year's Munich runner-up Simone Bolelli will face fellow Italian Potito Starace and former world No. 1 star Lleyton Hewitt will battle Dutchman Thiemo De Bakker. Bolelli lost to Chilean slugger Fernando Gonzalez in last year's finale here.

The 2009 Munich titlist will collect $95,000.
