World number 15 Marin Cilic has lifted the Croatian Open in his homeland, while David Ferrer was victorious on clay in the Swedish Open.

Firstly in Umag, Croatia, Cilic was the champion after a 6-4, 6-2 final victory over Spanish world number 19 Marcel Granollers, in a strong tournament which included the likes of Fernando Verdasco and Alexandr Dolgopolov.

Cilic became the first Croatian to win his homeland’s open since Goran Prpic in 1990.
