Cilic crashes out of Maharashtra Open
Marin Cilic of Croatia
Pune - Al Maghrib Today
Top seed Marin Cilic of Croatia crashed out of the ATP Maharashtra Open on Friday, losing in three sets to lowly-ranked Frenchman Gilles Simon at the semi-final stage.
Cilic, the world number six and overwhelming pre-tournament favourite, comfortably took the first set 6-1 but Simon stunned the 2014 US Open champion to win the next two 6-3, 6-2.
Simon, the world number 89, will play either compatriot Benoit Paire or South Africa's Kevin Anderson in Sunday's final.
The hard court event, which has total prize money of $500,000, is taking place in the western Indian city of Pune.
It is viewed as a key warm-up event for the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open, which starts in Melbourne on January 15.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
