Draper made a confident start to the Championships on Monday. He was two sets up against Sebastian Baez and leading in the third before his Argentine opponent was forced to retire.
The Brit will have an entirely different challenge on his hands today as Cilic, a former finalist in SW19, has vast experience and will be looking to make the most of his first appearance at Wimbledon in four years.
Furthermore, the Croat has a thumping serve in his arsenal which is sure to give Draper plenty to think about.
Draper will be last on No.1 Court today, as world no.7 Mirra Andreeva kicks things off against Lucia Bronzetti before Maria Sakkari looks to cause an upset against world no.11 Elena Rybakina.
Draper vs Cilic start time
Draper vs Cilic is the third match on No.1 court today. Action begins at 1pm BST with Andreeva.
That means Draper is expected on court late in the afternoon.
