Croatian tennis player Marin Cilic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/federer-nadal-win-tournament-cilic/] has aside clear goals for the rest of the season. He plans to go deep in the biggest tournaments in order to reach the throne of ATP Rankings for the first time in his career. ‘The ultimate goal is to reach No 1’, Cilic confessed. ‘That’s my goal in terms of my tennis results and looking ahead for my improvement. That would mean I would have to win a couple of Grand Slams in order to be No 1, especially with Roger and Rafa winning most of them. You can’t actually be No 1 with winning those big tournaments so that’s a big focus and big goal.’ Cilic thinks he is doing steps forward: ‘For me, when talking about that consistency, I think I have shortened the gap between my high level of tennis and the level where I am floating sometimes. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/cilic-300x200.jpg]Marin Cilic That has improved a lot and helped me to become as consistent as I have been. That is a great thing for me. I am always looking ahead and very motivated for any tournament that is coming. For me, the most important is to improve and get myself at the top and stay there consistently throughout the years. Last year was the first year I started and finished inside the top 10. This year I started at number six and I’m floating between three and five. Those are great signs that I am sticking at the top.’ Earlier, when Nadal [https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/975529/Rafael-Nadal-Marin-Cilic-Juan-Martin-del-Potro-Queen-s-tennis-news] withdrew from the Queens Club tournament, Cilic joked that now it will be easier for him to win. With Nadal and Del Potro out of action, Cilic is now the top seed in that tournament. “Del Potro, in the last year and a half, is taking lots more care for the tournaments,” Cilic added. “After Miami he had a break until Madrid so he is taking his time. Probably taking care of his body, he has had so many injuries.” 

Croatian tennis star Marin Cilic has said that he is aiming to win a fe Grand
Slams and hopefully even reach the World Number 1 Ranking

<h2><strong>Wimbledon Championships History</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Wimbledon Championships are an annual tournament held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The club was founded back in 1868 and christened "The All England Croquet Club."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Eight years later, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield put forward an idea for an outdoor version of court tennis. Soon, the game was officially added to the list of activities of the club.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In 1877, the club was renamed "The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club." With this change debuted the Lawn Tennis Championship.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Earlier, the club used to follow the rules put drafted by the Marylebone Cricket Club. However, when the Lawn Tennis Championship was born, a new set of rules were introduced. These rules are in force even today. Admittedly, the rules are not the same as the ones drawn in 1877, as minor changes have been made over the years.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The inaugural 1877 Wimbledon Championship kicked off on July 9, with the Gentlemen's Singles being the sole event. Spencer Gore won it after defeating 22 competitors.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"></sup></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In 1882, the word 'croquet' was dropped after lawn tennis became the sole activity at the club. However, the name was back on the plaque in 1899, owing to sentimentality.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">In 1884, the Ladies' Singles and Gentlemen's Doubles competitions were added to the roster. Nearly two decades later, the Ladies' Doubles and Mixed Doubles events would follow.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In a similar vein with the other three Majors or Grand Slam events, Wimbledon was contested by top-ranked amateur players. During that time, professional players were prohibited from participating.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">However, when the Open era arrived in 1968, the rules changed once again. Thought-provokingly, until Fred Perry in 1936 and Andy Murray in 2013, no British man has ever won at Wimbledon.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Meanwhile, on the Ladies' front, until Virginia Wade in 1977, no British woman has ever triumphed. However, Annabel Croft and Laura Robson won the Girls' Championship in 1984 and 2008, respectively.</p>
