FOUNDATION
He set up the Marin Cilic Foundation with the goal of giving young people improved access to education. "It's a blessing when you are successful and can also give back to the community and make people happy. We will try to help as many people as possible." (atpworldtour.com, 24 Apr 2016)

MOVING TO ZAGREB
In September 2002 at age 15 he moved from his hometown Medjugorje to Zagreb, Croatia, because his hometown couldn't offer him good options to practice. He came to Zagreb on the invitation of Andrej Tonejc and trained at the National Tennis Centre while staying at his godparents' house. "That was a difficult part of my life but I have never regretted my arrival to Zagreb. I met several very important people who were very precious for me at that young age."
