Wimbledon is around the corner and surprise, surprise, Marcus is back in the headlines.  The Daily Telegraph claiming that Marcus has demanded a WC into the main draw - a claim that Marcus has denied.

Here is a link to the article.

The interesting comment for me was this part.

His ranking stands just inside the top 400, but Willis has his sights set much higher. "It's a long journey but this will be the start," he said.

Marcus goes on to claim that he still believes he can make the Top 100. Personally, I would love to see him fully commit and get back on the circuit, but if in the end, family commitments prove to be too much of an obstacle, then I could understand.

I really dont know what the obsession is!? He had his moment of glory last year and fair play to him but, unfortunately doesn't take himself or his tennis seriously, he looks in exactly the same shape as last year. Get a decent dubs partner and crack on with that as singles in his current shape isnt happening

 Well, it's a bit rude to Liam, and all those that he's beaten in singles, to say that his singles is not worth pursuing. Do you think Liam should give up too, because he was beaten by someone like Marcus?

Physique is just one part. And there's a wide range, with some too skinny and some a little heavy. I think people should be giving Marcus a lot of credit for getting to the FQR when he's not been concentrating fulltime on professional tournaments etc.

However, I agree that the continuing hullabaloo about him is all a bit daft, and simply a sign that the media love a 'story' and, often, are too lazy to go out and find new stories so just recycle the old. It will be interesting to see what Marcus focuses on next year now that his 15 minutes of fame has waned.
