baghdatis wimbledon chances?

[TacoBellBorderBowl1946]

What do you guys think about his chances going farther than he did last year (semis)? He probably won't win it because of Federer, but I think he has the game for grass, is aggressive, and has good speed and stamina to counterpunch. He has even said that his 2007 goal is to win Wimbledon, so he will be focused.

I like Baghdatis, his open spirit and nature, but his fitness level is just not where it could be. He did better than a number of higher 'named' players at the FO, which I admit is much different than Wimbledon, but depending on his mental commitment, plus the conditioning factor, he could do a number of things: go out first round and still be smiling, or go to victory with an even larger grin.

I don't understand why people question his fitness, sure he doesn't look like the fittest guy on tour, but he has a good five set match record

Besides the player saying themselves, which he did, they could be more fit. When a player was huffing and blowing the way he was in some rallys that weren't very long at FO, that's when someone questions the fitness level. I only I said it wasn't where it COULD be, and comparatively at that.

4th round would be my guess.
