Cilic conquers unknown territory for the history of Croatian tennis

Marin Cilic was a finalist at Wimbledon, but he had never managed to defeat a top-5 ATP ranked player at this event. Unexpectedly, he has achieved this by beating Draper, closing an important chapter in his career by winning at least once in all Grand Slam tournaments against one of the world's top five players at that time. He is the first Croatian tennis player in history to accomplish this.
