Baghdatis does it for the Young Guns, defeats Robredo 6-4, 6-4

...and millions of posters on MTF go crazy.

:crazy:

the greek gods helped him out today - dont think spanish gods are that powerful.

Marcos = Shanghai contenders killa

:woohoo:

Hahahahahaha

Robredo, you're shit and you know you are you mug. See ya next year.

Great match baggy :worship:

Shame a mug like Mugdatis is still playing. Nothing to like about a player who shows up for about 5 tournaments a year.

:bounce: :bounce:

:yeah:

:) Great result for Baghdatis and his first ever AMS SF and it is likely he will play the guy he played in his only previous AMS QF (Nadal).

Robredo just got outmanoevred and outplayed by Baghdatis who played very well. Maybe a few too many dropshots there but no matter and defeating Robredo solidly isn't easy.

Too good, Marcos :hatoff:

Boredo :bigwave:

Now Muzza and Gasgay bring it on :boxing:

since when baggy can handle the pressure?

jup, like birdshit or gonzo

Good job, Baggy.:woohoo:

Relly pleased. Feel a bit bad for wishing failure on Robredo, but TMC will be a better place with Murray or Gasquet there.

Good year, Tommy. :hug:

Marcos can still qualify for Shanghai if he wins the title and the winner of Richie-Andy loses in the SF.

Also Nalbi has a chance to make it as an alternate if he goes all the way.

A whole 6 winners from Robredo :hearts: :tape:

bandyman aint going forget it.

he cocked it up in basle losing to the midget.

Marcos! :woohoo:
Robredo had no chance today as he was being outplayed...

Now he should focus because it will only get harder... :scared:

good one, baggy!

tommy should wear the short shorts again.

Baggay :worship: He is a good friend of Muggay and Gasqay :hug: ;)

it's great not to see Robredo at the Masters Cup this year.

Great result. :yeah:

With all due respect to Robredo I'm sure most people wanted either Gasquet or Murray to make the TMC, not another Spaniard. And Baggy still has a shot at making the TMC although he needs the winner of Murray-Gasquet to lose in the SF.

I wonder how Boredo expects to win matches on hard courts against good players standing 10 miles behind the baseline when returning 2nd serves?

...and suddenly everyone starts liking Marcos again :haha:

You're shit, and you know you are...you're shit, and you know you are... :D

Can't believe he's still in the top 10. Lucky bastard.
Good job Baggy

Over for Robredo

now Muzza v Gassy is the big one

:awww: Tommy :hug:


Baghdatis :yeah: good match

...and suddenly everyone starts liking Marcos again :haha:

I've always liked him. He's my other sunny boy beside Rafa. :D

That's for the assist, Marcos.

Robredo - you were there last year and didn't really impress or impose yourself on the event so I'm glad to see we'll get another new face this year - losing Robredo and Ljubicic is good news. Nalbandian 2.0 would have been good but it looks like he arrived too late at the party to make it unless Roddick quacks off.

Great result. :yeah:

Why not? :o

Why not? :o

Because they're boring players.

Hope this helps.

by raw fighting spirit

Why not? :o

Yes, I think as Jimnik said. I have not anything against the Spaniards but three of them in Masters Cup is too many.

Good job Baggy...

Over for Robredo

now Muzza v Gassy is the big one

Nice siggy, Mikey. :lol: That didn't hurt too much, did it?

Oh man. I'm going to be a nervous wreck this afternoon.

Winner takes all. :scared:

Oh man. I'm going to be a nervous wreck this afternoon.

So am I. ;) Just approaching things from the other side.:p

Thank you thank you Baggy

I agree Tommy didn't make any noise last year, but as much as I like both Murray and Gasquet I honestly don't think they'll make much more of an impression on the other six.

Both of them can school Roddick, beat Gonzalez, beat Ferrer and Murray has dismissed the PMK twice.

Huge congrats to Baggy- good job! :clap2:

Thank you Baggy :banana:

So am I. ;) Just approaching things from the other side.:p

Its all good. :hug:

Baghdatis still on course for the masters.

But Gonzo is less in danger now.

Baggy on fire :bounce: :yeah:

Nice siggy, Mikey. :lol: That didn't hurt too much, did it?

Oh man. I'm going to be a nervous wreck this afternoon.

Winner takes all. :scared:

So am I. ;) Just approaching things from the other side.:p

:lol: If you need someone to calm you down, just yell :p

Congrats Baggy!

Thank god, no Boredo in Shanghai. :)

I get your point but I was thinking more about current form/attitude. :shrug: Like I said, if they prove me wrong I will be glad to see it happen. :yeah:

:confused: Murray is in excellent form, he has had to be.

Marcos :banana: :woohoo:

MTF :crazy:

:woohoo:

4 contenders still in the game: Gasquet,Murray,Youzhny and Baghdatis

Marcos will end with a better ranking than Ljubomug this year

Haha

Thank you Marcos :worship:

Now fucking do this Muzza :music:

Marcos will end with a better ranking than Ljubomug this year

Haha

Whats it matter? They are both mugs.

Sweet. The Tall, Dark, and Hairy's strike again!

Robredo is going to lose 100 points by no defending his semis of the

last year and 100 points of his win against blake in the masters cup


i am sure he will be outside of the top ten at the end of the year.

thank you marcos :worship:

thank god the moonballer boredo is out of shanghai... good win for baghdatis hopefully he can face and beat nadal tomorrow...

this is dedicated to bilbo

looks like your equation of fighter vs. non-fighter was wrong this time ;)

:woohoo:
Super Marcos!

Baghdatis= Shanghai Savior and MTF Hero :)

Is it just me, or has Andy Murray suddenly gained a WHOLE lot of fans? It wasn't very long ago that he and Nadal were the 2 most hated players on MTF. :scratch:

Thanks Baghdatis :worship: , I might have quit following tennis if Robredo made Shanghai again. :lol:

since when does baggy has so many fans?

nadal is going to fuck baggy over big time
he'll have fatty huffing and puffing

Rafa's odds are quite high by your standards! Go for it :rolleyes:

i have bandy at 33/1 to win the tournament
i want nadal to lose
but he won't

Robredo not reaching the year end masters appear to be one of the most popular events on MTF.

i have bandy at 33/1 to win the tournament
i want nadal to lose
but he won't

It is unlikely that Nadal will lose of the "Nadalflor" surface laid for the event.:devil:

Good Luck with your bet!

I still think Bandy has a good chance!

Never in doubt. :yeah: *Whistling around innocently, hoping that nobody will notice*

Nice work Marcos :yeah:

It's great to see Baghy getting deep into a big event again but I give him no chance against Nadal. :sad:

Tommy "never go for a winner behind the baseline" Robredo.

It's great to see Baghy getting deep into a big event again but I give him no chance against Nadal. :sad:

Well, there are no certainties but Nadal is a horrible matchup for him, I had more hopes for the 1st round match in Madrid than here even though Marcos had an excellent run in Basel and in this tournament so far. I would love to be proven wrong though.

this is just a simply fantastic day. Gasquest and Baggy both through :woohoo:

Enjoy your cold bath, Tommy.

Typical MTF now Baghdatis is a hero and not a mug anymore, the classic bandwagon player.

Never in doubt this one.

He just doesn't believe enough when it comes to the very top players. It would be great if this changes tomorrow but I don't think it will.

It is not only belief, this is a bad matchup for Marcos, he serves at a low 1st serve % so he gives Nadal looks for baseline rallies on his serve. Even more importantly, he doesn't handle high balls to his forehand very well, this is particularly bad against Nadal as he ends up far behind the baseline in rallies.

But belief is certainly important, for example the Madrid match.

It's a shame that Tommy won't get a chance to play in Shanghai, but to me whats worse is that Gasquet took Tommy's place. At least it wasn't Murray, but yeah I'd rather Tommy over Gasquet anyday.

What are you on about? Did you just come home from the pub?

does n't yo yo mean anything ? it swings from one side to the other the next moment. Its difficult to believe with your strategic incompetence, you will keep the big picture in mind. you are most likely the type of guy who swims with the tide of short term results.

i on the other hand have a clear idea of who ranks where and why. i can teach you if you can pay me ,since its far beyond your capabilities.

I'm keen to be tutored by you Mediter. Name your price.

I only fine incompetent people and hitler supporters

I am disappointed, a guru like yourself who prides themselves on extensive research and using painstaking analysis, have dropped the ball in this instance.

despite such extensive research and inventing irrefutable methods, i never claim to know it all and make it a point to keep learning. To see intellectual pygmies like yourself make tall claims makes my blood boil.

mediter, when you make statements like this about myself "you are most likely the type of guy who swims with the tide of short term results", without using your undoubted intellectual capabilities, then you start to create doubts about a lack of credibility in your methods.

I don't jump on bandwagons, that is far from a secret.

Come on, Baggy!!! :bigclap:
