Cilic Enters Djokovic's fearsome list of victims: seventh player he beats more than 20 times

No matter how much effort he put into it throughout the whole match, Marin Cilic once again fell to Novak Djokovic in the second round of the ATP Shanghai (7-6(2), 6-4). With this defeat, Cilic now has 20 losses to Djokovic in 22 matches, a statistic that places him among the players whom Djokovic has beaten 20 times or more. Cilic is the latest addition to the list, which includes names such as Rafael Nadal (31), Roger Federer (27), Tomas Berdych (25), Andy Murray (25), Stan Wawrinka (21), and Gael Monfils (20).

7 - Marin Cilic is now the seventh opponent Novak Djokovic has defeated 20+ times at ATP level – Djokovic is the only player in the Open Era to defeat 5+ opponents on 20 or more occasions at ATP level. Absurd.#RolexShanghaiMasters | @SH_RolexMasters @atptour @ATPMediaInfo
