Record 2013 Portuguese Coach of the Year
Frederico Marques (born 4 September 1986) is a Portuguese professional tennis coach who currently coaches João Sousa in the ATP World Tour. After a short playing career, he became head coach at the BTT Tennis Academy in Barcelona, where he works with Sousa. Since January 2015, Marques is the Global Professional Tennis Coach Association president in Portugal. He is the youngest coach to have an athlete in the ATP top 100 ranking and the first Portuguese member of the ATP Coaches. In 2014, Marques was nominated for the 2014 Portuguese Coach of the Year award.
Marques was born in Lisbon, Portugal. His father, João, is a managing director of an international company and his mother, Maria, is a housewife. He has an older brother, João, who is bank manager. Marques started playing influenced by his father and his brother at age five. However, he began more serious practice only when he was 12.
Marques pursued a degree in communication studies at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, but never finished, and he also attended at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. In 2012, he did a Development and Performance Tennis Master in Madrid. Marques speaks Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. Marques is a football fan and his favorite club is S.L. Benfica. He also enjoys triathlons, watching films and spending time with friends. Had he not developed a career in tennis, he would have wanted to be a triathlete or a businessman.
At youth level, Marques was Under-14, Under-16 and Under-18 Portuguese No. 1. From 2000 to 2003, Marques practiced in the National Tennis Center in Oeiras, Portugal, where he was coached by João Cunha e Silva and Bernardo Mota. He won the Under-16 National Championship mixed doubles tournament in 2001 and the singles and boys' doubles tournaments in 2002. In 2004, Marques moved to the BTT Tennis Academy in Barcelona to improve his game. During his first year there, Marques shared a rented house with his future coachee João Sousa to reduce expenses.
