Marcos defeated Goffin 6-4 6-2. Next opponent will be A. Falla. From Marcos's official site: Marcos cruised into the second round of the If Stockholm Open on Tuesday as he defeated upcoming Belgian David Goffin 6-4, 6-2.
Goffin made a fast start, breaking Marcos in the first game. Marcos quickly hit back though and levelled in the sixth game before breaking Goffin again to take the opener. He broke the No. 45-ranked Goffin twice more in the second set to seal victory in 73 minutes. Marcos hit nine aces and won 70 per cent of points on his serve.
Marcos goes onto face Colombian Alejandro Falla, who saved one match point in a three-set win over Jan Hajek. The match will be played on Thursday in Stockholm.www.baghdatis.com/articles/view/marcos-sweeps-past-goffin |

Marcos is through to the semis!! He defeated Berankis 6-3 7-6. Interview of Marcos, after the match, available here: www.ifstockholmopen.se/News/12%20Baghdatis%20vann%20tuff%20kvartsfinal.aspxHe says it was his best match of the week today. He's happy the way he's playing because he feels great on the court. He likes this event because he's got great memories there. And he considers the level this year is higher than the one he knew in 2009. |

Sad news. Marcos had to retire in his semi when Tsonga was leading 4-2 in the 3rd set. He apparently injured his left thigh. Tsonga had won the 1st set 6-4, taking the set on the only breakpoint he had in this set. But Marcos fought back in the 2nd set and broke Tsonga at 4-4, serving for the set and taking it by 6-4. He got broken on the 1st game of the 3rd set and was fighting when he injured himself. I do hope it's not too serious  |
