The world No. 4 could not stage a comeback at his home Grand Slam, going out in round two for the second year in a row.

The 36-year-old Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion and 2017 Wimbledon runner-up, stunned fourth-seeded Jack Draper 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 in a second-round match on No. 1 Court to eliminate the top British player from the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

My abiding memory of the anticlimactic early elimination of Jack Draper will not be Marin Cilic launching thunderous forehands and gigantic aces from his 6ft 6in frame.
