Video: Djokovic Suggests Shift For Cilic Rematch


Expect moving day when Novak Djokovic takes Centre Court to face Marin Cilic in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

The battle of Grand Slam champions is a rematch of the 2014 Wimbledon quarterfinals, which Djokovic won 6-1, 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2.

The world No. 1 owns a 12-0 career record over the U.S. Open champion, including a crushing 6-0, 6-3 conquest on the red clay of Monte Carlo last April.

Still, Djokovic knows Cilic's serve can be most lethal on lawn. The top seed withstood 40 aces from Kevin Anderson in his fourth-round win and suggested he will shift his return position against the big-serving Cilic.

"I know [Cilic] very well. We've played many, many matches on different surfaces," Djokovic said. "I'm going to try to do a few things differently than I've done in this match in terms of my return and my positioning. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a few more balls back because he does serve very well and I think he's going to try to rely on that element of his game. But again it's best-of-five [sets] and I hope I can play as well as I prepare."
