This is actually the first time I've heard of Marinko Matosevic of Australia, currently ranked at #122 and a surprise finalist in the Delray Beach Open. He lost to South African Kevin Anderson in the final. Marinko, already 26 years old, should be one of those journeymen in the tennis world, who play week in week out, looking for that big chance to bring their rankings up. He does just that in Delray Beach where he defeated players ranked much higher than him. They included Dudi Sela (#61) in the semi's, Ernests Gulbis (#79) in the quarters and Alex Bogomolov Jr. (#39) in the second round.
