Biography

Born in Dallas, Marshall attended J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. After an injury plagued high school tennis career, he was recruited by Indiana's Purdue University, where he was a two-time Big Ten singles champion.[1]

From 2001 he competed as a professional, most successfully in the doubles format. A left-handed player, Marshall reached a best doubles ranking of 101 in the world and featured in the main draw of five ATP Tour tournaments from 2003 to 2005. He twice competed in Wimbledon qualifying for the men's doubles and won a total of five ATP Challenger titles in doubles.[2] As a singles player, he had a win over Marcos Baghdatis in the qualifying draw of the 2005 Ho Chi Minh City Open and won an ITF tournament in Tijuana the same year.

Marshall was the head coach of women's tennis at Georgia State University between 2014 and 2018.[3]

gollark: Oh, flash storage, that is a huge one.
gollark: ... which we *have had*, modern computers are better than 30-year-old ones.
gollark: So, say, OLEDs, capacitative touchscreens (okay, I'm not sure how old those are), much faster RAM and new RAM technologies, laptops which you can actually carry, and transistors at the scale of tens of nanometres are not "new technologies"?
gollark: Laptops now are very different to ye olden laptops, touchscreens... are generally better now, I guess, LCDs can go to crazy resolutions and refresh rates and are being replaced by OLEDs in some areas, "microprocessors" is so broad and ignores the huge amount of advancement there.
gollark: I mean, yes, we have those still, but they're very broad categories.
