Baghdatis makes sushi Nishikori

Straight sets, 7-5, 6-3. I do hope Sam Querrey makes it to the next round. We need revenge!

Memphis here we come!

First up is a 19 year old Japanese guy by the name of Kei Nishikori ranked 56th, about 30 places above us. If the script is right, he will be flying back to Tokyo soon, which brings us back to guess who... Sam Querrey, our nemesis.

Baghdatis squashed by Querrey

2 sets to 1, short stay in San Jose. Is this a return to Marcos’ familiar form? Off to Mephis.

Baghdatis at San Jose 2009

And so to the states. San Jose 2009 (aka SAP open) starts tomorrow with Marcos facing Sam Querrey the 8th seed. This guy, ranked 50 places above us (he is no 35 in the universe) beat Marcos less than a year ago at the Paris masters. Time for revenge?
