Marcos To Face Querrey In San Jose Opener

Wednesday, 11 February, 2009

Marcos has been dealt a tough first round match at the SAP Open in San Jose as he faces sixth-seeded American Sam Querrey on Wednesday.

 

Getting to know…Sam Querrey

The California resident reached a career-high No. 33 in the South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings on 19th January after reaching his second ATP World Tour final at Auckland, where he lost out to Juan Martin del Potro. However, in his two other tour-level appearances this season, the right-hander lost in the first round at Brisbane and the Australian Open.

 

The 21-year-old Querrey is making his fourth event appearance in San Jose and has a 1-3 event record. He lost in the first round in 2006 and 2008 and reached the second round in 2007.

 

Head-to-Head

Marcos is playing Querrey for the second time. The duo first met at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Paris last year, when Marcos was forced to retire with a troublesome back trailing 2-3 in the third set. With Marcos now fully-fit the re-match is sure to be an exciting encounter.
