Sad news for all fans of Marin Cilic: As the 34-year-old announced on social media on Friday, he underwent knee surgery "after consulting various specialists". In the long term, that was the best decision, wrote the Croatian. According to the 2014 US Open winner, the procedure was successful.

It is not yet clear how long Cilic will be out. In the Davis Cup duel between Croatia and Austria (February 4th and 5th in Rijeka) he will definitely not be there. The good news from the point of view of the world number 18. is that he can now spend more time with his family.

"I'm positive and can't wait to get back on the pitch. But right now, my main focus is on recovery and the upcoming rehab," said Cilic.
