The 2014 US Open champion is also the first Croatian man in the Open Era to hit that number. Goran Ivanisevic was close—the 2001 Wimbledon champion finished his career with 599 wins.
Cilic owns 21 career titles and reached a career-high ranking of No.3 in the world.
Cilic’s first ATP win came 21 years ago when he defeated Kristof Vliegen in Umag.
