Campeones!
Ever the thorough detective, Meri tracked down this unintentionally hilarious photo of Marc!, Albert Costa and some other guys from the Real Club De Tenis Barcelona’s 2003 program.
Grass is for cows
Or doubles.
Marc! met with an unfortunate first day loss in the Qualies. I am pretty sure the slippery cow food is to blame. But now that the qualifiers have toughened up the surface, the strawberries are ready to be served, and Marc! and David Ferrer are kicking off day one with their doubles presence!
All eyes will be on them as they take to court…19 versus Coetzee and Kerr.
Vamos little armada, vamos!!

Third round a charm?
And round two goes to…Marc! and Tommy boy! Together they produced a great win over Fyrstenberg and Matkowski 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. On Sunday, the dynamic Spanish duo will take on the German team of Kohlmann and Waske.
Vamos boys!!

Go for a ride with Marc!
Marc! and Tommy take a ride to Roland Garros. Marc! doesn’t get to talk – he just sits there and looks adorable.
(Thanks to merikob and kefuoe for alerting us to this!)

ESP > ARG
Marc! and Tommy had a nice pre-rain victory today over Juan Ignacio Chela and Edwardo Schwank of Argentina. The final score after about two and a half long hours was 4-6, 6-3, 7-6. As per usual, photographers were nowhere to be found for this match, or I would include some photos. What is up with the lack of available photos of Marc!? Is he just too awesome for still photography to capture? Does it take a special kind of lens on those fancy pro cameras in order to capture his awesomeness? I have a secret agent on the grounds trying to figure this out…we’ll see how that goes.
Next up is Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski of Poland on Friday.
Double your pleasure, double your fun!
Okay, so a deep run in Paris isn’t in the cards this year for Marc! in singles, but a potentially delicious hand has been dealt in the doubles draw. He has teamed up with fellow countryman Tommy Robredo to seek out the very shiny Coupe Jacques Brugnon. Their first match is against the Argentine duo of Juan Ignacio Chela and Eduardo Schwank.
This is the first Roland Garros doubles attempt for Marc! Will he be rocking any Nike Summer Classic or Trend sorbet colors on the terre battue? Stay tuned.

Marc! moving and talking!
Maria alerted me to this Marc! in motion video. Yay!

And speaking of Marc! and the Madrid Open, he and Ruben won their first round doubles match, but went down in the second round to the top team of Nestor/Zimonjic. They pushed Nestor/Zimonjic – taking the second set off them in a tie break. Given how dominate N/Z have been this clay court season, that’s pretty damn good.
