Everything Big Starts Small

Born on September 28, 1988, in Medjugorje, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Marin Cilic’s age is 28. He was born to Zedenko and Koviljika Cilic, and has three brothers: Vinko, Mile, and Goran. His father wanted to give his sons the opportunity he never had to play sports, and in 1991, when a tennis court was newly built in their town, Cilic and his friends were the first few to play. In 1995, his interest in tennis grew after his father took him and his elder brother, Vinko, to a tennis club in a neighboring town. Cilic was eight years old when he won his first trophy and made it to the semi-finals of the 10 & Under tournament. In 2002, due to lack of sports facilities in his hometown, Cilic moved to Zagreb, Croatia, where Andrej Tonejc (his coach for the next three years) invited him to learn how to play professionally. Cilic now lives in Monaco, France, with a No. 6 world ranking of and an even brighter tennis career ahead of him.

Marin Cilic’s World of Tennis

Cilic started playing as a boy and is now a professional tennis player with many titles and trophies to call his own. He won his first place trophy in the ITF in Mostar which is close to his hometown. In 2005, he beat Andy Murray in the French Open, juniors title. It was in 2007, that Cilic received a wild card in Wimbledon, which was his first appearance at the tournament. In 2013, he faced a ban of nine months after failing a drug test. The glucose levels in his blood were higher than usual which was reportedly caused by taking some supplements over the counter. But after the ban, Cilic returned to tennis and was named one of three Croatian players to have won at least 10 titles in their career. In 2014, Marin Cilic won the U.S. Open after defeating big names like Kevin Anderson, Tomas Berdych, and Roger Federer. In 2006, he came second at the Open 13 Provence in Marseilles.
