Video - Cilic's winning half-volley against Alcaraz in Doha

On Monday, Marin Cilic faced Carlos Alcaraz in the first round of the ATP 500 tournament in Doha. The 36-year-old Croatian, now ranked 192nd in the world, is hoping to move up the rankings.

Winner of a Grand Slam in his career, Cilic is still capable of causing problems for the world's best players and showed this against the Spaniard.

Despite losing in two sets to Alcaraz (6-4, 6-4), Cilic put up a good fight against a player who had to work hard, particularly in his last two service games (four break points saved, including one in the game where Alcaraz was serving for the match).

To maintain his advantage in the second set, Cilic came to the net at 3-3 40/15 on his serve after a good attack.

Following Alcaraz's passing shot, the Croatian produced an exquisite half-volley winner that his young opponent could do nothing about (see below).

One of Cilic's finest points of the match, even if it wasn't enough to reach the second round in Qatar.
