Marcos was made to work hard for his place in the second round of the AEGON Championships on Tuesday afternoon at The Queen’s Club, defeating Portugal’s Frederico Gil 7-6(2), 4-6, 6-2.
Marcos fought back from a break down in the first set to prevail in a tie-break, but after missing three break point chances midway through the second set, he was broken in the 10th game as Gil drew level.

In cool conditions in south-west London, Marcos regrouped well in the third set and broke serve twice to seal victory in two hours and 19 minutes. He hit 13 aces in the encounter and won 79 per cent of points behind his first serve.
With rain at the start of the day delaying the schedule, Marcos’ planned doubles match with Jamie Murray was postponed.
In the second round on Wednesday Marcos will face Czech Lukas Rosol, who defeated Victor Hanescu in straight sets.
