In the first round, he stormed past Italian Gianluca Mager and then got the better of Ricardas Berankis in straight sets 6-4,6-2,6-0 in the second round.

Croatian Marin Cilic has started the season on a positive note.

This week in Melbourne, he blasted past Ecuadorian qualifier Emilio Gomez in the first round and followed it up by beating yet another qualifier Norbert Gombos in 4 sets 6-2,6-3,3-6,7-6(8).
