I feel privileged to have been a part of that era - Marin Cilic on playing in the time of the Big 3
By DEVANG CHAUHAN Modified 04 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Marin Cilic feels privileged to have played in the era of the Big 3 Former World No. 3 Marin Cilic has said that he feels privileged to have been a part of the era of the Big 3 of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. In an interview with Greek website SDNA, Cilic spoke about his early years on the tour and the great opportunity he had to learn from the top players. "I feel privileged to have been a part of that era because I came as a youngster at an amazing time for tennis," said Cilic. " 2008 was my first full season and then, 2008, 2009, 2010, there was great competition. The top 20, Top 30 players were very high level. This gave me the opportunity to learn to play, adapt and try to take things from the top tennis players." The former World No. 3 said that he has improved a lot over the years and that his vast experience, especially at the Slams, gives him an advantage over the younger players on tour. "Over the years I have improved a lot compared to the beginning of my career and that is not very easy. To improve, that is, every year. For me, that was great," Cilic said. "Now there is a mix of generations, with older people over 30, with 25-year-olds and some younger, so it's quite interesting. And the fact that I have experience at the Grand Slam level gives me an advantage." Tiempo De Tenis@Tiempodetenis1Cuando Marin Cilic está jugando bien, se vuelve un jugador peligrosísimo.
