Reigning US Open Champion Marin Cilic is already looking ahead to Wimbledon and eyeing his next Grand Slam title . ‘ Wimbledon is the first tournament I ’ ve got my eye on , ’ said Cilic , who lost to Juan Monaco on Saturday night in Indian Wells in his first match of the year after a shoulder injury . ‘ I ’ m going to try to peak my form for Wimbledon time. ’ The world No 10 believes that the grass court credentials of his coach Goran Ivanisevic , who won the title in 2001 , can help him conquer SW19 . Marin Cilic was upset by Juan Monaco in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open in California . The Croatian star has set his sights on Wimbledon in his bid to win a second Grand Slam . ‘ I believe having Goran in my corner , who has been known in history as one of the best grass court players ever , is a big plus . Wimbledon is a big target for me . ‘ Even last year we approached the grass court tournaments differently . When I started to play last year I straight away felt better than before and I feel its going to be similar this year. ’ Cilic had an excellent run at Wimbledon 2014 , knocking out Tomas Berdych in straight sets before going down in five to Novak Djokovic and that run , coupled with his maiden slam title in Flushing Meadows in September , leaves him feeling confident that he can have a successful trip to London . Cilic is coached by compatriot Goran Ivanisevic who won the Wimbledon title in 2001 . Cilic holds aloft the US Open trophy after winning his first Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows last year . ‘ I think I have a good chance of winning Wimbledon , ’ said the 26-year-old . ‘ In 2014 I played really well over there and lost to eventual champion Djokovic in a pretty close match . ‘ I felt the best on the grass ever last year and that ’ s what ’ s giving the most confidence . And , with the experience of winning the US Open , I can carry that on into grand slam tournaments. ’ The 6ft 6in Croat was speaking after his nomination for breakthrough sportsperson of the year at the 2015 Laureus World Sports Awards . He credits Ivanisevic for his superb 2014 season . ‘ Goran was extremely hard working as a player and he still is , ’ said Cilic . ‘ We tried to push my game to be more aggressive , to play my own game rather than thinking about the tactics of the other guys . ‘ He helped me a lot with my serve and in all areas he was a huge help . Goran knows tennis. ’ Cilic reached the quarter finals at the Championships in 2014 before losing to eventual winner Novak Djokovic . Boris Becker is one of several 'supercoaches ' taking charge of top players on the ATP Tour . Ivanisevic is part of the growing army of ‘ supercoaches ’ – well-known former players who are helping to guide a new generation . The trend was started by Andy Murray hiring Ivan Lendl , and Cilic believes that big-name players make the best coaches . ‘ They know the game , ’ he said . ‘ They ’ ve been through many of the same situations in their own careers . Goran teaches me to not do the same mistakes he was doing during his career . It ’ s huge to have someone who has won a grand slam in your corner. ’ He has matched his coach in winning a grand slam . He has matched his Laureus nomination ( Ivanisevic won the 2002 comeback award ) . Now Cilic is ready to equal his mentor ’ s most famous achievement by winning the Wimbledon title .
