Baghdatis vs. Cilic US Open R1 2014

C'mon Baggy beat Cilic:

Don't break the racquets, or your face (see image above)... time to make a late career run. This isn't about being reasonable, this is about giving a player with the nickname "Baggy" some karmic support.

Does he have it in him? in 2014 or 2015? (I intended 2014) Set count and scores don't matter, just the outcome.

Hoping it lives up to the expectation.

2nd up on Armstrong Wed. Set those DVRs...

Yup I'm thinking this is going to be a battle. Is it supposed to be blisteringly hot?

Nah, it will be Cilic in straight sets, I guess. Cilic has been playing extremely well in recent times.

That would be the rational assessment b u t I'd like to see Baggy do something unexpected... (not the racquet smashing). He's gotta know he has to bring his A game.

Is this on show court?

Dang. he was Unbeatable in the challengers. what is going on here ?

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

Ugh, bagged and tagged. Rematch in 2015?

Dang. he was Unbeatable in the challengers. what is going on here ?

his recovery period is over... he should play 3 straight challengers in california from monday on:

• napa
• sacramento
• tiburon

... pame !

PS: by the way, at the time (when marcos retired because of his injury) i wouldn't have bet on cilic winning the tournament, even if crazier things have happened in the past !

The rematch! Baggy to defeat the defending champ in 2015? That would be interesting... not likely but you never know.
