A slew of garish unforced errors from the 20th seed threatened to surrender the double break but another patch of brilliance – including an ace and forehand winner down the line – kept him within striking distance. A heavy cross-court forehand winner secured the first break and after fending off a challenge on his own serve, the Croatian took matters into his own hands, hammering an inside-out forehand to snatch the double break and with it the set. He had made little impact on the Cilic serve but after four bungled chances, finally made good on his fifth break point to edge ahead 2-1 in the second.

Casper Ruud battled back from a set down to defeat Marin Cilic in Friday's Roland Garros semi-finals, setting up a final showdown with 13-time champion ...

I was too defensive and then I was able to break him in the second set and that got me going again. But after a brief delay during which both players left the court, he finished the job at 10:15 p.m., closing out the win in just under three hours. Cilic produced a plus-four ratio in the opening two sets but a minus-nine mark in the last two. The eighth seed will face Rafael Nadal for the first time in Sunday's final as he bids to deny the Spaniard a record-extending 14th Roland Garros crown and 22nd Grand Slam singles title. After spending much of the opening set on defense, the Norwegian began to pull his opponent around by finding the corners with heavy spin. He is the last player of the Big 3 and the very top players in the world I have never played against,” Ruud said of Nadal in an on-court interview.
