After an intensive training block in Argentina during December, Marcos is fit, ready and raring to go at the Brisbane International, which begins Sunday 3rd January and marks the first tournament of the 2010 ATP World Tour season.
Marcos finished 2009 on a high note, winning his third ATP World Tour title in Stockholm which was preceded by a Challenger win in Tashkent. Overall he has won his past nine competitive matches, dating back to a close three-set loss to Rafael Nadal in Beijing in early October.
Keen to make his mark quickly on the court, Marcos will arrive in Brisbane by Thursday 31st December, meaning he will have overcome his jetlag and adjusted to the conditions nicely in advance of the tournament start on Sunday. Marcos will be joined in Australia by coach Eduardo Infantino, trainer Diego Martos and Argentine player Juan Spina.
Following his appearance in Brisbane, Marcos will compete at the Medibank International in Sydney before contesting the first Grand Slam of the year – the Australian Open in Melbourne.
