NEW YORK – Defending champion Marin Cilic is taking a quick and quiet trip through this year's US Open draw so far.

The ninth-seeded Cilic, whose only appearance in a Grand Slam final came at Flushing Meadows in 2014, reached the third round by beating Evgeny Donskoy of Russia 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila).

Cilic has won all six sets he's played this week.

The former World No. 8 who defeated Guido Pella in the first round will also see action for the UAE Royals in the International Premier Tennis League scheduled here this December. With a report from Philstar.com
