Marcelo Pinheiro Davi de Melo (born September 23, 1983 in Belo Horizonte ) is a Brazilian tennis player .
Career
The double specialist began his professional career in 1998. After a positive doping test for Isomethepten at the ATP Queen's Club in 2007, Melo had to serve a two-month ban. The ITF justified the comparatively short ban with the fact that Melo did not take the drug with the intention of increasing performance. In 2009 he reached the final of the mixed competition of the French Open together with Vania King . He was the seventh Brazilian in the final of a Grand Slam tournament . In 2013 he was in the final of the doubles competition at Wimbledon . In 2015 he won his first Grand Slam title in Paris alongside Ivan Dodig .
He achieved his best world ranking in singles in November 2005 with rank 273. In doubles he led the world rankings for 19 weeks from November 2, 2015 and took over the lead again on May 9, 2016. With his tournament victory at Wimbledon 2017 with Łukasz Kubot , he took over the top of the world rankings again for five weeks, also on November 6, 2017 after winning the Paris Masters .
