The final edition of the 2016 Emirates ATP Rankings was released on Monday and Marcos finished at No. 36, capping another strong year on the ATP World Tour.
Ten spots better than his 2015 finish, Marcos enjoyed his best year-end ranking result in four years. It was an impressive campaign that included his 13th tour-level final at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February, a semi-final run on the grass of Newport and most impressively a Round of 16 finish at the US Open. It marked the first time Marcos had reached the second week of a Grand Slam since 2009.
Marcos scored three wins over Top 20 opponents this year, with his biggest victory coming against World No. 8 Tomas Berdych on the lawns of Halle in June. He also showed his strength on clay, reaching his first quarter-final on the surface in four years with a deep run in Houston.
With no points to defend in January, Marcos will look to continue climbing the ranks at the season-opening event in Doha, followed by the Australian Open.
