[edit] Trivia
- Melo plays doubles with André Sá of Brazil.
- Marcelo & his men's doubles partner André Sá made it into the Wimbledon record books when they beat Kevin Ullyett and Paul Hanley in the fifth set with the score "28-26". It was the longest match in The Championships history lasting 6 hours, 13 minutes. There were 102 games in total, which was 10 games short of Charlie Pasarell and Pancho Gonzalez's record-breaking encounter in 1969. However, it was the longest match, in terms of games, since the tiebreak was introduced.
