Marin Cilic’s tennis remains just as effective on the grass of Wimbledon, even at 36 years old.
After defeating Jack Draper two days ago in one of the biggest upsets of the tournament’s first week, the Croatian had to confirm his form against Jaume Munar, who achieved his best career result at Wimbledon.

His next opponent will be Flavio Cobolli, who reached the second week by comfortably defeating Jakub Mensik (6-2, 6-4, 6-2).
