Today's loss was not too much of a surprise. After the intense match to down del Po, it was in some ways inevitable. Who knows, with AO around the corner, it might be a blessing in disguise. Everyone knows, given the right frame of mind, there is only a handful of players on the tour that can hope for a win against Marcos. Good luck Marcos at the AO. Just remember the match with del Po

Marcos defeated Benjamin Becker 6-1 7-6(5) 6-2. hope he plays Stan on top form in the second round. i expect Wednesday's match to be a close affair, but there is nothing better than winning a tough battle. go Marcos go

from Marcos' official site:baghdatis.com/articles/view/marcos-breezes-past-beckerMarcos Breezes Past BeckerTuesday, 17 January, 2012In hot and windy conditions on Monday in Melbourne, Marcos advanced to the second round of the Australian Open with a 6-1, 7-6(5), 6-2 victory over Germany’s Benjamin Becker. A very strong serving display saw Marcos fire 18 aces and win 92 per cent of points behind his first serve. He broke the No. 304-ranked Becker six times from eight opportunities as he clinched victory in one hour and 49 minutes, to the delight of his supporters on Show Court 2 at Melbourne Park. View Australian Open Photo GalleryMarcos goes onto face Swiss No. 21 seed Stanislas Wawrinka, who defeated Benoit Paire in straight sets. World No. 22 Wawrinka won their one previous meeting, four years ago in Indian Wells. The match will be scheduled for Wednesday in Melbourne. Stay tuned to www.baghdatis.com for all the updates from Melbourne. Go, Marcos!

high quality match, Marcos failed to serve out the first set at 5-4. now, Marcos is serving to force a tie-breaker to determine the winner of the first set.

Marcos was broken in the ninth game of the second set and lost the set 6-4 to Stan. miniscule hopes alive now for a hard-fought come-from-behind 5-setter win
