Good seeing Marcus keeping on plugging away at that top 100 ranking, he cant be too many wins away now, presumably will need to win a challenger event? Be good to see him get into a 250 event at some point, maybe it will be on the grass?

 Good stuff by Marcus+. Although he could in theory in time get into the top 100 without a Challenger title, a title would most certainly help. 

He is up to live ranked 124 on 705 points. Winning the title here would take him to 750 points. The current live WR 100 is on 826 points.

This is all at least better late than never in Marcus truly working to achieve a ranking more commensurate with his doubles abilities. Before last August he had never been in the top 200.with a previous CH 209 from November 2017 and having also been quite close to the top 200 ten years ago, in 2014.

He could / should have been top 100 a long time ago, Yes, hope it comes this year.

Re Marcus getting an ATP tour grass WC, remember that the LTA don't take that kindly to partnering peskies even although his still short term partnership with Christian Harrison appears to be going pretty well.
