Cilic is the best dark horse for a Grand Slam in 2010.
Marin Cilic is a tricky player on the men's ATP tour because he's a longshot with more potential than most longshots.
He's still only 21 years old which makes him one of the youngest players in the top 20 (currently ranked 14th) and he is already capable of beating anyone on tour on any given day. He made a minor breakthrough in 2009 as he made his first Grand Slam quarterfinal match at the US Open, defeating Andy Murray on the way there.
Here are Cilic's odds to win each Grand Slam in 2010:
Australian Open, +3300 (33/1), Sportingbet
French Open, +10000 (100/1), Sky Bet
Wimbledon, +4000 (40/1), bet365, Sky Bet, Victor Chandler, and Paddy Power
US Open, +4000 (40/1), Sky Bet, Boylesports
Cilic's Grand Slam results over the past few years depict a well rounded player for all surfaces. He has been to the fourth round at each Slam and, as mentioned, he's made the US Open quarterfinals.
He has never achieved top level success in a Slam yet, but based on his age, improvements should be expected in 2010.
Cilic is not a top recommendation for any Slam but he can be sprinkled lightly for each, as a cover bet. He's young, developing, improving, and he should be surpassing some of the older players on tour soon like Fernando Gonzalez, Radek Stepanek, and maybe even Andy Roddick.
