Cilic used 17 aces - including four in one game - and the same powerful groundstrokes that helped him eliminate Roger Federer in the semifinals.

Elsewhere, there was the rise of another hero.

"This is (from) all the hard work in these last several years - and especially this last year," Cilic said during the on-court ceremony, when he kissed his silver trophy and collected a check for $3 million.
