ZAGREB, Croatia, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Croatian Marin Cilic eased to his third Zagreb Indoors title Sunday, dispatching Austria's Jurgen Melzer in straight sets.

Cilic fired eight aces and won all but eight of the 41 points on his serve in breezing past Melzer 6-3, 6-1, adding this year's Zagreb championship to his previous wins in 2009 and 2010.

It was the ninth career ATP Tour for the Croatian, who improved to 9-7 in championship tilts.

Melzer, meanwhile, fell to 4-8 for his career in finals and dropped to 2-7 against Cilic.
