The draw for the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami was made on Monday. Seeded No. 22 in the 96-man draw, Marcos has a bye through the first round and will open his campaign against either Blaz Kavcic or a qualifier.
Marcos is expected to reach the third round on his seeding and would face No. 13 Mikhail Youzhny. Should he progress, he would very likely face World No. 3 and two-time former champion Roger Federer in the fourth round.
Also in the same quarter of the draw as Marcos are No. 8 seed Andy Roddick, No. 10 Jurgen Melzer, No. 18 Marin Cilic and No. 25 Gilles Simon.
