Na natjecanju koje je zagrijavanje za Wimbledon, u reprizi meča otprije nekoliko tjedana u trećem kolu French Opena u Roland Garrosu, Marin je pokušavao stići do drugog naslova na turniru u Queen’s Clubu, nakon što ga je već osvojio 2012.
Iako je Marin zabio 22 asa, na kraju je Feliciano López u dramatičnom okršaju spasio meč loptu u odlučujućem tie-breaku te pobijedio rezultatom 4:6, 7:6 (2), 7:6 (8).
