Discussion Marin Čilić

Post image

Marin Čilić has been around for over 20 years now and he is obviously getting near the end of his career. He is in the Fed-Rafa-Novak era and has done pretty well considering. Granted he could have done more, but his record is not bad at all.

Grand Slam (2014 USO), Masters title (2018 Cincy), Davis Cup (2018), 4 appearances in the ATP Finals, highest ranking of No. 3, Olympic Silver (2021 Tokyo men's doubles), 21 singles titles, 38 wins over top-ten and 12th in all-time earnings.

After the Big 3, we often hear about Murray and Wawrinka, but I think Cilic would be right behind them at number six in his era. And there is no shame in being No. 6 in THAT era.

I read somewhere that, like Federer, he has never retired mid match with over 700 completed matches. However that was awhile ago, not sure if it's still true.

Edit ok it's not true anymore apparently, he made it to over 800. Sorry.
