Cilic, 37, has overcome two knee surgeries since 2023 to reach this mark, showing his resilience in the sport. He's now second among active players, behind only Novak Djokovic (1,168 wins).

“It's ‌been so difficult these last couple ⁠of years, I ‌was battling through many things,” said Cilic, who also went past Croatian compatriot Goran Ivanisevic's career tally of 599 tour-level victories.

“Just to get to this level, playing this well against guys like Learner, who's an incredible player and ⁠can have a fantastic career, is just a joy.

“To get this milestone speaks volumes about my dedication to tennis, living in this sport for so many ‌years. It's given me so much joy and I love it. It's fun to be out here still competing and I can't be happier.”

Marin Cilic, the 2014 US Open champion, is making a remarkable comeback after undergoing two knee surgeries in 2023 and 2024. He tore the lateral meniscus on his right knee in 2023 and had surgery, followed by another in 2024 due to recovery difficulties. Despite these setbacks, Cilic has shown impressive resilience, reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon last year and the third round of the Australian Open last month.
