They may want to call the trophy "The Cilic Cup" at the PBZ Zagreb Indoors event in Zagreb, Croatia.

That's because fifth seed and defending champion Marin Cilic once again will raise the trophy at the ATP 250 event for a fourth time in his career.

Despite going up against top seed Tommy Haas in Sunday's final, Cilic once again had the home court advantage as he claimed the first break of serve for either player in the first set.

Though he later traded breaks with Haas, Cilic went on to take the set 6-3.

Cilic saved the lone break point against him in the second set.

Winning 81% of his first serve points and with a total of 10 aces, Cilic soon claimed the 6-3, 6-4 title win in just 80 minutes.

This is the fourth title for Cilic in Zagreb and his 10th ATP career title overall. He holds an event best 22-4 win loss record.

Jean Julien-Rojer and Horia Tecau won the men's doubles title.
