Having no live stream to watch, I experienced the inadequate satisfaction to watch the live scoreboard: www.opendorleans.com/live.phpMarcos defeated Stefano Galvani 6-2 6-7(6) 6-1. Feel relieved for many reasons.  Marcos plays Gary Lugassy on Thursday. |

From tournament's official site: Marcos against Lugassy  Hehehe. I like Marcos' new dress code. A little more effort would make him a Stefan Koubek's fan. |

Marcos defeated Alexandre Sidorenko 3-6 6-2 6-3. Seems that the trend for losing the first set, then thrashing his opponent in the next two sets is growing on Marcos. Or, he follows Peter's advice to find ways to play as much as he can. Hahaha. Marcos takes his chances to practice a lot during official matches. Well in challengers, but still official matches. Hope he is in full control of the situation. Rochus is next. Not Ollie, but Christophe. Bet Marcos plays another 3-setter tomorrow. |

From tournament's official site: Marcos against Sidorenko  Seems that challengers is a good opportunity for Adidas to use Marcos as an indian rat for experiments. Where else but in challengers, could they convince a player to wear all colours of rainbow? Either that, or Marcos' current mood (and "form" ) reflects in his clothing. Prefer the second. |
