Marcos stated that he is fully prepared for the impending Davis Cup tie against the Egypt national team. Marcos was speaking during the official draw ceremony which was held on Thursday at the Spyros Kyprianou Stadium, in Limassol where the tie will take place (5-7 March).
Marcos called upon the fans to stand by the team, which is playing for the first time on an indoor court, and as a result the tie is special.
