Appropriately, Marin Cilic celebrated his jubilee against a good friend: Ivo Karlovic. Cilic beat 6: 4 and 7: 6 (5) to play in the quarter-final on Friday against Jeremy Chardy. Asked about the milestone, the 2014 US Open champion said: "That certainly means I had a great career. I've been playing for many years now, and every season has been fairly consistent. "
The season 2019 runs for the 31-year-old not quite as desired, Cilic is in the current world rankings in 25th place to his total of 18 tournament victories of the Croat could add so far none. In addition to the triumph in New York City, where Cilic defeated Kei Nishikori in the final, he took in Cincinnati, just under two years later, a title at an ATP Masters 1000 event. In addition, he was in the finals of Wimbledon 2017 and the Australian Open 2018, but lost each Roger Federer.
