U S Open 18 R2: Baghdatis (Titan of era 04-07) vs Lucas Pouille (17)

[ForumMember]

Who wins this contest between these two great players ? Pouille may have higher ranking but Baghdatis knows what it takes to go all the way the way upto finals of Grand Slams..

All pumped up to watch great champ Baghdatis in action.

 

[DRII]

LOL!

I see what you did there...

 

[Raining hopes]

I respect Nadal but this thread is asking for it.


GOD TIER HC GOATDAL HIGHEST HC LEVELDAL 2010 LOST TO BAGHDATIS IN CINCINATI ON DECO TURF.

Titan of the 2004-07 era. Lol Tells you everything you need to know about that era

Mariano Puerta

Pouille in 4.

/facepalm at this poor troll attempt. 0.5/5, I give you half point because Pouille in that sentence sounds a bit funny

don't know why a match thread like this should be taken as troll attempt. Baghdatis is a great champ. A peak Baghdatis would have taken tens of Pouilles to cleaners.

He did take Nadal to the cleaners in 2010(Supposed GOAT year for Rafa lol). PIs there any mug Rafa hasn't lost to?

bag n tag the starchy collared hipster!

Pouille should take this. But he has a bad habit of tightening up when he's the favorite. And Bags is playing like he's already retired and has no pressure. So I won't fall off the couch if he pulls the upset.

Pouille in 4.

X marks the spot for Fischer technology built into Baghdatis' Pacific sticks, which apparently suit him a bit more than the Tecnifibre collection he destroyed in Melbourne:

I saw this thread a while back, even then you were rooting for Marcos and disliked Gilles

damned... more than 10 years ago !
marcos was close to win a 2nd straight title after zagreb the previous week

 

[tacou]

does baghdatis have the worst touch on tour?

and yes I saw that crazy lob from no man's land haha.

 

[stringertom]

Critical break for Pouille after several great points from both players. 3-2, fourth set, 2-1 but I have a feeling that's not the last break in the match.

How is Baghdatis a ‘titan’ of era 2004-07, just because he made one slam final? So is Nishikori a ‘mega titan’ of era 2013-16?

And LOL at those who suggest Baghdatis was even one of Fed’s main rivals in that era! Nishikori was way more of ‘main’ rival to Djoko in 2013-16 than Baghy was to Fed. Heck even Almagro was more of a ‘main’ rival to Nadal in 2010-14. So is Almagro the titan of era 2010-14?

Camouflaged dig at fedr's never to be duplicated absolute dominance of 2004-07, 11 out of 16 slams. If Gonzo was to make 2R of a slam more than a decade after his slam final, VB would mock him too.

Baghdatis would have won if they had not slowed down courts for baseline grinders
