Marco Chiudinelli (born 10 September 1981 in Basel, Switzerland) is a tennis player from Switzerland.
Marco is the only child of father Lorenzo Chiudinelli and mother Reni, (both information technology specialists). Marco grew up in Münchenstein in the district of Arlesheim in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland. He attended schools in Münchenstein and Basel. Marco speaks German, (dialect Baseldytsch), English, and French. In his childhood, he met Roger Federer and Roger Brogle. The pair often played squash, table tennis, football, and tennis together. A region-wide top tennis group was formed when the pair was eight years old; despite playing for different clubs, they became members.
Marco Chiudinelli turned professional in 2000. He has competed for the Switzerland Davis Cup team from 2005–2007 and in 2009 and 2012, winning four matches and losing five. His best performances at a Grand Slam were at the 2006 US Open and the 2009 US Open, where he reached the third round as a qualifier both times.
At the 2006 US Open as a qualifier, he defeated Feliciano López in the second round. He then fell to 25th seed Richard Gasquet. At the 2009 US Open, he again reached the third round as a qualifier. He defeated Potito Starace, and then defeated former top-10 player Mikhail Youzhny. He lost to eighth seed Nikolay Davydenko.
