Marin Čilić (Croatian pronunciation: [ˌmâriːn ˈt͡ʃǐːlit͡ɕ]; born 28 September 1988) is a Croatian professional tennis player whose biggest success to date is having won the 2014 US Open. Over the course of his career, Čilić has won 16 ATP singles titles. His career-high singles ranking is world No. 6, achieved in November 2016. Čilić first came to international prominence by defeating then World No. 2 Andy Murray in the fourth round of the 2009 US Open. He followed this by reaching the semifinals of the 2010 Australian Open. Čilić was also a quarterfinalist at the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Wimbledon Championships, and a semifinalist at the 2015 US Open as defending champion.

Čilić started to develop his career at a young age; his first steps of tennis started in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His potential was discovered by local hometown coaches who saw him play and encouraged his move to Zagreb for further training. He was soon befriended by his countryman Goran Ivanišević, who introduced him to coach Bob Brett. Čilić turned professional in 2005, and ultimately hired Ivanišević as his full-time coach in 2013. Čilić parted his ways with Ivanišević in late July 2016, after advancing to 2016 Davis Cup semifinals.
