ZAGREB, 10 June 2019 – After more than 5 years, Marin Čilić is no longer Croatia’s best ranked tennis players.
From 17 February 2014 until today, Marin Čilić was the best-ranked Croatian tennis player of the ATP rankings but today there is a new Croatian number one, 22-year-old Borna Ćorić.
In the latest ATP rankings released today, Ćorić is the best-ranked Croatia at No.14, one place ahead of Čilić who has dropped to No.15 in the world. Ćorić’s run at the French Open, where he reached the fourth round, saw him jump two places, whilst Čilić dropped a place after he was knocked out in the round of 64.

The last time Čilić was not the No.1 Croatian on the ATP rankings, he was behind Ivan Dodig. Čilić’s highest ever ranking was No.3. back in April 2018.
Veteran Ivo Karlović has jumped 8 places to No.86 on the latest ATP rankings which is topped by Novak Djoković.
