Marin Cilic
The highlight of 2017 for Marin Cilic was reaching the Wimbledon finals and winning one title at the Istanbul Open. He has had a similar 2018 as he reached the Australian Open finals and won one title at the Queen’s Club Championships. In reaching the quarter-finals of the 2017 French Open, Cilic became one of the few active players who have reached the quarter-finals of all Grand Slams. He reached the same stage this year as well. Cilic has the potential to rise higher than his current ranking of 5 in the second half of 2018.
Nick Kyrgios has shown an improved temperament in 2018 winning the Brisbane International. He did not win any title in 2017. His fourth round loss to Dimitrov at the Australian Open in 4 tight sets was one of the matches of the tournament. He also lost a close semi-final to Federer in 3 sets at the Stuttgart Open similar to his loss to Federer at the 2017 Miami Open. He reached the semi-finals of the Queen’s Club Championships as well. The mercurial Australian has played some fine tennis this year and if he can keep his focus, you may expect him to rise higher than his current World Ranking of 19.
