of those 6 men, Fed and Nalby will most likely play in the Final, but I wouldn't mind if Baghdatis can make another upset, though Nalbandian is alot tougher mentaly than Ljubicic.Docalex007 said:
Anyway great matches to come - (except Davydenko, I don't think he can cause Federer trouble - grinding out against him don't work, if you aren't a lefty with unreal topspin

Baghdatis is the real deal, i give him a shot against Nalbandian.Hopefully he emerges, he is only 20, thought he looks 30, the kid has a big forehand.

I was watching the 5th in the first bar I ran into that had tv and the waiters and male guests were talking about how no mather how he starts (with a 2:0 like in Madrid or 0:2 like here he'll somehow manage to lose it. I can't understand how can he return from 0:2 and then totally lose it in the 5th.
His game in the 5th was dissapointing. He actually defeated himself. He picked that habit from Ancic.
Although I find Baghdatis annoying, he played really good, can't deny that. But still, Ivan heleped him a lot with his poor game in the 5th.
Anyway...can't wait Zagreb Indoors next week. No five set matches plus Ivan at home...couldn't be a better chance for some revenge. And I'll be cheering like those crazy Greeks
btw. it was the 1st time I saw Ljubicic curse after losing a point..it was in the 5th when Baghdatis broke him..he said (if my lip-reading is correct) some pretty nasty curses.

Baghdatis has prover he can handle big hitters, but what about more versatile players such as Nalbandian? How do you think he'll do?

I missed most of the match earlier today (only saw the beginning and the final set) so i'm watching it again now.
Yesterday i predicted a win for Bags in 5 sets but i honestly didn't think it would come like this: 2-0, 2-2, 3-2! I'm a teacher and i took the children to the TV room and we watched the final set together, cheering for Marcos!
Bring on Nalby and Fed!

It's everyone's first point of discussion when they meet with friends. I went to teach today and all the kids were uber-excited and we watched the 5th set together and cheered. Then i went for some coffee and everyone at the cafe were talking about it.
I doubt this will do wonders for Cyprus tennis, but at least it gives the kids (and us grown ups) something to be excited about.
I don't know what the future holds for him, but right now he's the man. Marcos for President! :mrgreen:

Oh and his hot gf as a first lady!

Seriously though, i never thought about it till now, but has anyone from such a small country ever won a major tournament? I'm not saying Marcos will do it, but i'm just wondering about this bit of trivia.
