With the summer hard-court season set for a thrilling finale, Marcos is looking ahead to the Winston-Salem Open following a 7-5, 6-0 defeat to Gael Monfils on Wednesday at the Western & Southern Open.
In their first head-to-head meeting in nine years, Monfils prevailed after one hour and 11 minutes. It was their second encounter in Cincinnati, after facing off back in the 2006 second round.
Marcos will next set his sights on the ATP World Tour 250 event in Winston-Salem, before traveling to New York for the final Grand Slam of the year. In three previous trips to Winston-Salem, Marcos' best result came in 2011 when he stormed to the quarter-finals.
