Marin Cilic

Marin Cilic is another player who hasn’t done justice to his talent. The Croatian was the runner-up at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships in which the 30-year-old lost his way in the final because of an injury. Marin Cilic was a runner-up at the Australian Open last year, losing to Roger Federer in the final.

Cilic also won the Queens Club Championships before last year’s Wimbledon tournament. Five years after putting up a stunning performance at the Flushing Meadows that gave him his only Major title till date, the 2014 US Open champion has stated that doing well in the upcoming US Open is one of his top priorities that will motivate him to finish the season on a high.

Cilic was also a part of the Croatian team that won the Davis Cup by beating France 3-1 in the final last year. His sublime shots have always unsettled his opponents combined with his powerful groundstrokes.

He is adept at executing some exceptional dropshots in addition to his power play. The lanky Croat can also cover a lot of ground with his reach and quick moves.
