Nalbandian [23] vs. Baghdatis [10], 3rd Round

[Tchocky]

Nalbandian +127 vs. Baghdatis -137

4th meeting between the two, 1st meeting on grass. Baghdatis has won the last 2 meetings. Oddsmakers have this match as a pick. I think the two things that can happen is Marcos wins in 4 sets or David wins in 5 sets.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

allez marcos !!!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Bag in 4, i hope.

 

[federerfanatic]

Baghdatis in 4 sets. Out with the old, in with the new. Federer and Nadal will soon be the only old gaurd players, with maybe Roddick, at the top. The rest will be the new guns like Djokovic, Berdych, Baghdatis, Gasquet, and Murray.

[Tchocky]

when's this match?

Sometime tomorrow. Wimby website does not say when this match is scheduled. I'm guessing within the next 12 hours because that's when most books stop taking action for this match.

 

[oscar_2424]

Nalbo in 4 sets.

 

[canasnalbandiandelpotro]

David will take it in 5.

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

Baghdatis in 3 sets :grin:

 

[SuperPhong]

I hope Bag wins in 4 sets!

 

[TheMurph]

I like how Baghdatis plays on grass....Baghdatis in 4.

 

[thefederman]

does anyone know if espn is showing this match

 

[Tchocky]

Money has all been coming on Marcos. He's a -137 favorite right now.

 

[tennis_hand]

I didn't know Nalby is playing. This is the first time I've heard his name in Wimbledon.

 

[trimick7]

little chance ESPN will show it no American playing so what would PMac talk about

 

[illkhiboy]

I hate the stupid scheduling at Wimbledon. This match deserves a place on Centre Court, much better than the Gasquet match.

 

[Shabazza]

I didn't know Nalby is playing. This is the first time I've heard his name in Wimbledon.

Well, it's not like this year has the WorldCup at the same time so he bothered to play at least a couple of matches...

 

[Andres]

Baghdatis broke Nalbandian's serve in the 12th game. Takes the 2nd set, and leads 2 sets to love: 6-2, 7-5

 

[oscar_2424]

now Nalbandian will win in 5 sets

 

[Voltron]

Come on Nalbandian, win it in 5!!! Voltron needs a new hat!!!

 

[oscar_2424]

Nalbo down 5/0, now its the time for the comeback.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Not even close.Nalbandian needs to do some soul searching after this match.He got his ass kicked.He needs to dedicate himself more.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

now Nalbandian will win in 5 sets

i don't think so...

what a convincing win for marcos... 62 75 60 against nalbandian, bravo !!!

 

[oscar_2424]

wow, impressive win for baghdatis.

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

Solid performance by Baghdatis, lets hope he can do some more damage.

 

[JLyon]

nice tank job by Nalbandian at the end of 5th set, just plan gutless, even the radio announcers were appalled.

 

[fastdunn]

Baghdatis actually has a game that suits Wimbledon and US Open
better than Australian and French Open.

GUT-less? David Nalbandian? Now that's just crazytalk. That guy has a perfectly well-formed gut.;-)

Congrats to team Baghdatis.....three cheers to the Baghwagon. Next up, Davydenko is it? Or Monfils? I'd really like to see Monfils/Baghdatis on grass. Two likeable Francophones going at it....hopefully going five. Allez ... ela Marko!
