Congrats to him. And Amritraj should be an easy one too I think! Btw - did you know Marcos has asked for a Wild Card into the Main Draw for the New Haven tournament the week before US Open? Hope he gets it.

And it's another win in a row. Marcos reaches the QFs, defeating Amritraj 6-4 6-1. He'll play Philipp Bester on Friday. He's to play today with Spina against Im/Matosevic at 6.30PM local time on center court. Seems our guy is on a good way this week. Let's hope it goes on as far as he can As for the WC asked in New Haven, I think it would be great if he coud have it. Thanks for the info anyway. |

Marcos won 6-4 6-4. "Watching" the tournament twitter feed and refreshing the page every 10 seconds wasn't the best thing to get involved in of course... |

Hope he gets it. According to this article, that's true. I'd much prefer Marcos to play qualies instead of constantly begging for wild cards... autonomy is a matter of pride... anyways... |

Definitely a great week for Marcos. That victory was something totally out of hope about 1 or 2 weeks ago. The hard work has paid.
Congrats Marcos!!
