Cilic pulls out of Zagreb indoors

Zagreb, Feb 1: US Open champion Marin Cilic is still waiting to get on the court in 2015 after he pulled out of the PBZ Zagreb Indoors tennis tourment. Cilic was forced to withdraw from the Australian Open, the first major tourment of the season, with a gging shoulder injury that bothered him throughout his successful 2014 campaign. He was hoping to start playing again at the PBZ Zagreb Indoors tourment that he won on four previous occasions, in 2009–10 and 2013–14. “Recovery is slow, too slow. I’ve been out of court for about seven weeks so far and that’s the longest period in my career that I’ve been without touching a racket. Last MRI test showed that there has been progress but I have to wait two more weeks to repeat the MRI test that could show my shoulder is completely healed,” said Cilic Saturday at the tourment’s draw ceremony.
