This match isn't an easy one. Clément is known to be a fighter, and he's gonna be supported by the crowd.
Good luck Marcos!!

Marcos defeated Arnaud Clement 6/3 6/4. Nice. He will play the winner of the match Lopez-Karlovic next. If Ivo Karlovic is his 2 nd round opponent, Marcos will have a very tough time trying to beat him. |

His first win over a Top 10 player this year. Ancic is next. Last time Marcos met him was in Beijing 2006 final where he defeated him 6/4 6/0. Back then Mario also came back to courts after a long-term absence (accident with jet ski...). Saturday OoP: CENTRE COURT Match start at 02:00 PM Paul-Henri MATHIEU vs. Andy MURRAY followed by

I saw the match and it was a good and solid match from Marcos. He was interviewed at the end and he said that both Misha and him were a bit stressed at the beginning, but that he could rapidly free himself and play his tennis. He also added that he was feeling great physically, with his tennis and in his mind.
Good luck against Ancic!!
