Marin Cilic faced challenges at Wimbledon after losing to Flavio Cobolli during a fourth-round match that started at 11 a.m. local time. Cilic expressed frustration over the scheduling, noting that he had to practice indoors since practice courts opened later. He found the court conditions difficult due to overnight rain, which made the playing surface soft. Despite the loss, Cilic reflected positively on his overall performance at Wimbledon, coming back from knee surgeries and competing after lower-tier tournaments.
I don't like to speak about the conditions. OK, I lost and everything. I have to accept it. But I feel bitter because why is there a need to play at 11?
It's raining overnight, and the court was quite soft. It was really difficult to play on. You just push the ball in the middle of the court, and the ball just stays super low.
