Good luck to a man with text book strokes, and the best smile the game has ever seen.

Why not ? Give me a better stroke maker on the tour ? Text book stuff.

He has given us some great moments. Who will ever forget the racquet smashing exhibition or the 2006 AO run? Such beautifully grooved stroke mechanics and a knack for living in the moment on court.
Marcos was probably never fully able to give up enough of the good life to maximise his potential. He was truly a f$&#ing good player in the 2000's before relaxing into life as a cult figure on tour in the last 7 or 8 years.

Yep. Didn;t live up to his potential, and injuries got the better of him in the end.
Mouratoglou hinted to this about Bagdhatis in the past. Didn't put enough into training. Was making enough money, for him to live very comfortably on for the rest of his days, so the "good life" ended up getting the better of him.
One of the few I would like to share a beer with. Seems like a genuinely good guy. It shows in his face.

Possibly coaching Tsitsipas? DC captain?

Maybe starting some sort of an academy. Don't know about Tsitsipas. Think he and Tsitsi are very good friends. Not sure friends make the best coaches.
