TENNIS NEWS - Croatia set up a Davis Cup semifinal meeting with the United States after world No 3 Marin Cilic thrashed Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin in Varazdin on Sunday.
Cilic's 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 victory gave 2005 champions Croatia an unassailable 3-1 lead in the quarterfinal tie.
Croatia will host the US in September.
"From the beginning till the end I played on a rather high level ... constant pressure, superior, aggressive," former US Open champion Cilic said.
"I had maybe a few matches in the Davis Cup that were 'one way' ... but not really against a player of this level since Kukushkin is within (the) world top 100."
