Baghdatis wins Sydney 2010

First ever encounter vs Gasquet, won in straight sets (6-4,7-6)! What a comeback, after trailing 5-2!
A few Euros in the bank and 250 much appreciated ATP points. Not a bad way to start the year. Let's keep up the momentum Marcos.

Baghdatis spears a Fish!

Could we please meet Mardy Fish over and again? 3 for us in encounters to date. 0 for the Fish.

Final is vs Richard Gasquet. These two have yet to meet to date. For those who want to watch it, it is on (Greek) Eurosport 2. 10:30am (Athens Time)

Baghdatis beats Hewitt (again)

With this 2-1 win Marcos is through to the semis. Head to head, it is 2-1 to Marcos now.

Mardy Fish next. He's ranked below us (cough, i thought we had hit rock bottom gov?) plus he's felt the wrath of Marcos twice in the past. Marcos dismissed him last week in Brisbane, straight sets. The omens are good.

Marcos Baghdatis in Australia!

Marcos started the year in true fashion, crashing out of the Brisbane 250 with a rather embarrassing 6-0, 6-1 defeat to Thomas Berdych. However, he’s found time to occupy himself with Miss Universe (check out the photo!)

He’s past round 1 in the Sydney Medibank (ATP 250) tournament and he’s up against Lleyton Hewitt tomorrow, an old foe.

Is there a cunning plan? Will we bounce back? Is 2010 the year?
