Victory!

Before that other guy took the courts in Monte-Carlo, Marc! won his first round qualifying match in Barcelona.

Nicolas Lapentti, who also qualified for Monte Carlo where he reached the last sixteen before falling to Rafael Nadal, recovered from a poor first set to dominate Uruguay’s Pablo Cuevas 26 63 60. The former world #6 next plays Marc López, who was one of two Spanish wild cards to score upset wins on Saturday, thrashing fifth seed Paul Capdeville of Chile 61 62.

Lapentii’s going to be tough. Come on, Marc! Make it into the main draw so the world stands a chance of seeing your adorableness on TV.
