great news.

Marcos got his perfect woman to marry him, Karolina that is. and, Dr Igor Cetojevic can help Marcos address his mental frailties and upturn dramatically his on-court performances.

Baghdatis,Youzhny Make Winning Starts

Munich, Germany
by ATP Staff | 01.05.2012

Eighth seed Marcos Baghdatis notched his first clay-court win of the season on Tuesday in Munich as he defeated Germany’s Tobias Kamke 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in the first round of the BMW Open. The Cypriot broke serve four times and saved six of the eight break points he faced to clinch victory in one hour and 56 minutes in his first meeting with Kamke.

The 26-year-old Baghdatis improved to an 8-3 record at this ATP World Tour 250 clay-court tournament, where he has twice before reached the semi-finals, in 2007 (l. to Kohlschreiber) and 2010 (l. to Cilic). The right-hander has a 16-9 match record in 2012, highlighted by semi-final efforts in Sydney (l. to Benneteau) and Zagreb (l. to Lacko).

Baghdatis goes onto face qualifier Dustin Brown, who defeated qualifier Daniel Brands 6-4, 6-3 in an all-German clash.

i like Dreddy too, but not as much as Marcos. so i will support Marcos and cheer him on.

come on, Marcos ! you need to make one more step !

[getta]

Marcos playing atrocious tennis has been broken in three occasions and lost the opening set 6-1.

oh well, at least Dreddy is a very likeable guy.
