À 36 ans, Marin Clilic continue de faire parler sa magie sur les courts de tennis. Ce jeudi, le Croate a décroché son plus beau succès de la saison en faisant chuter le 4e mondial et héros national Jack Draper à Wimbledon (6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4). Après deux opérations au genou en 2023 puis en 2024, l’ancien champion à l’US Open retrouvera le troisième tour d’un Grand Chelem pour la première fois depuis 2022. Après la rencontre, Cilic s’est montré assez ému lors de l’interview sur le court puis très heureux en conférence de presse.

00:03Oui, absolument, c'est un excellent résultat.
00:07Après quite some time,
00:09playing in Wimbledon, évidemment,
00:11depuis 21 ans,
00:13et aussi,
00:15playing a player like Jack,
00:17qui est
00:19in a great form,
00:20a great player,
00:22a home favourite.
00:24Et pour moi,
00:26I've had many Grand Slam victories
00:30in the last couple of years,
00:32so it was great to play a great level
00:35from my side.
00:37A lot of time,
00:42a big part of the match went into,
00:44a huge focus
00:46to stay in there to play,
00:48obviously, this high level,
00:50and I think I executed extremely well,
00:53Just enjoying this part that I'm playing well now in the last few weeks and looking forward to continuing to play well.
01:03Yes, it was. Considering everything that happened in the last 2-3 years,
01:09even if I look at a situation where I was, how my knee was like this in February 2023.
01:20Lots of rehab, lots of unknowns, even coming back, the knee wasn't good, what to do then, new surgery, all these details.
01:35And then all the time there was this spark of desire and feeling that my level is still there, let me give myself another opportunity.
01:48And thank God, obviously now last 8-9 months I'm playing pain-free and progressing nicely, which is great.
01:59And obviously this has given me, I think, wind in my back, being at home, not being on the tour, not being overstressed and now feeling quite fresh.
