From the ATP site: Former Australian Open finalist and World No. 8 Marcos Baghdatis saved eight of nine break points he faced to defeat Indianapolis semi-finalist Frank Dancevic 7-6(3), 6-3 to reach the second round, where he will play Isner. The Cypriot, who is also a former Wimbledon semi-finalist, has slipped to No. 146 in the South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings.
Baghdatis began the year strongly with a fourth-round showing at the Australian Open and quarter-final appearance in Johannesburg, but he last won consecutive matches on the ATP World Tour back in February at Delray Beach, when he also reached the quarters.
"I am happy to win my first match here and I feel like I'm playing much better,” Baghdatis said. “I've been practising really hard and I am trying to get back to my old form."
Baghdatis saw his ranking plunge during the grass season when he suffered a left knee injury at ‘s-Hertogenbosch, which forced his withdrawal from Wimbledon, where in 2008 he reached the fourth round.
But Baghdatis has just 90 points coming off his ranking the remainder of the year, so he has every opportunity to push back towards the Top 100 and beyond if he runs into form. He has now won 16 matches this season, with four of those wins coming at Davis Cup level.www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2009/07/Los-Angeles-Tuesday-Baghdatis-Safin-Win.aspx |
