Marcos is set to return to action this week at the BMW Open in Munich. It will be his first clay-court of the year and is a place where he has enjoyed success before, reaching the semi-finals in 2007 (l. to Kohlschreiber) and 2010 (l. to Cilic).
Marcos will open his campaign against a qualifier and, should he win, will face a second-round clash with fourth seed and two-time former champion Philipp Kohlschreiber. World No. 10 Janko Tipsarevic headlines the 28-player field, with Marin Cilic, Tommy Haas and Florian Mayer also competing.
Marcos is also competing in the doubles draw alongside American Eric Butorac a winner of 13 ATP World Tour doubles titles. The first-time pairing opens against fourth seeds Frantisek Cermak and Michal Mertinak on Monday, playing the fourth match after an 11am start on SZ Court.
