:spit:

Baghdatis was just hitting almost everything to the middle towards the end of the match, as if they were warming up :spit: Lots of fluff balls. He looked entirely unmotivated.

There was a pretty questionable overrule in Baghdatis's favor at *5-6 15-30 which would have set up two MPs (and after two other overrules which seemed less questionable but which did have Klein going mad). Klein did have a MP after on the Cypriot's serve. It didn't matter as he ended up taking the match in the tie-break anyway.

It's pretty hard to believe that this Baghdatis won a match in a Grand Slam last week and that he reached the SF and QF at Wimbledon before.

Mission accomplished for Marcos, heading to McDonalds

Baghdatis barely moved... His stamina is laughable

 

[M-Bag]

Absolutely lifeless display, completely inexcusable. Embarrassing stuff, but I did feel like he might scrape through after some of those bizarre line calls/overrules near the end - but in the end Klein was the deserved winner. I'm impressed how he held it together to get over the line actually.

Marcos needs to take a long hard look at himself, he's had a golden opportunity to gain some points in the last couple of months to help him move closer to the top 30 and he's utterly failed to do so.

Great result. Love it when the racist loses.

Great result. Love it when the racist loses.

Brydan Klein has been banned for six months by the ATP after an investigation into the 19-year-old's racial abuse of a South African opponent at a UK tournament last month. The ban follows Klein being fined the ATP maximum of $14,000, and his suspension from the Australian Institute of Sport.

Klein called Raven Klaasen a "f---ing ******" during a tournament in Eastbourne. An ATP statement issued yesterday said Klein, who apologised after his outburst, had been suspended from the ATP World Tour and ATP Challenger Tour, having been found to have committed the "player major offense, aggravated behaviour", under its code of conduct. He was fined a further $10,000 following the investigation.

Klein was fined for a racist slur?! Or are you referring to Baghatis' opinion regarding Northern Cyprus?

The latter, he hates Marcos. His issue is with his Bagman's alleged comments regarding Macedonians though (I think). He mentioned it in this thread: http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=637874&highlight=

But getting to those kebab houses requires more movement than he showed in this match.
