November 25, 2011 Mark finished off October with a loss at the Chengdu Open. In his first round robin on 10/27 he lost to Moya 5-7, 2-6. His second round robin was more of a match but he lost in the end to Enqvist 7-6 (7-4), 6-8, 10-6. In November Mark was off to to Santiago, Chile for the Royal Guard Champions event where he would battle Carlos Moya for the number one ranking. Up first was a little revenge on Enqvist with a 6-4, 6-3 win followed by a win over Calleri 4-6, 6-4, 10-6. Finally came the match with Moya that unfortunately Mark lost in a close match 4-6, 7-5, 10-12.

After that Mark was in the Caymans for the KPMG Legends event where he played doubles with Martina Hingis against Chanda Rubin and Murphy Jense and won 8-5. The event The event allows amateur players to compete for a chance against the pros and is a benefit for the local tennis academy. Next up it's the ATP Champions Tour final event, the AEGON Masters Tennis, in London starting on November 30th

September 18. 2011 Follow Mark on Twitter. Like many other athletes Mark is on Twitter and posts with some regularity. One of his recent tweets mentioned that he's getting into fashion with his own line of clothing. It's called Phlip and they have an announcement website up at phlipapparel.com with a full site expected in November.
ATP Champions Tour Having never really followed the ATP Champions Tour (aka the senior tour), I was unaware that they keep a rankings system just like the main ATP tour. And guess who's atop the list? Yep, our very own Mark with 1200 points. The reason he's at the top is because he won the first three events of 2011: Delray Beach, Zurich and Bogota. The next event is the The Chengdu Open in China from October 27-30th.

July 24, 2011 Mark's been playing some more pro tennis and there's more news available so I'm bringing this site back to life with some more updates. The big news is that Mark has apparently given up any plans for an ATP return, or well, sort of, depending on how you interpret this quote from The Boston Herald: "I don't really have any interest in returning to ATP. I’d love to play some events. I'm very interested in playing some events, but I'm very happy playing senior events." So he's done with the ATP but would love to play some events? Guess we'll have to wait and see.
