LONDON - Marin Cilic said he is primed to make a strong run for the Wimbledon title despite the frustration of dropping the Queen's Club final to Feliciano Lopez.

Cilic was denied a second Queen's crown in agonizing fashion on Sunday as the world No 7 failed to convert a match point in the final set tie-break before losing 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (8).

Lifting the trophy at the Wimbledon warm-up event would have been perfect preparation for the Croatian ahead of the grasscourt Grand Slam, which starts on July 3.
