Haha, 4 racquets in 40 seconds.

Miles Maclagan, Andy Murray's former coach and coach of Philip Kohlschreiber is to work with Baghdatis for the upcoming US hardcourt season.
Not sure where that leaves Miles's arrangement with Kohli.

World No. 25 Marcos Baghdatis snapped a six-match losing streak as he returned to winning ways with a 7-6(2), 6-3 victory over France’s Julien Benneteau. The fourth-seeded Cypriot, who had failed to win a match since reaching the Rotterdam quarter-finals (l. to Ljubicic) in February, broke serve three times to prevail in one hour and 40 minutes.

The 25-year-old Baghdatis has enjoyed success on his two previous visits to Munich, reaching the semi-finals in 2007 (l. to Kohlschreiber) and 2010 (l. to Cilic). He next will face Bulgarian teenager Grigor Dimitrov.

Baghdatis got a WC for Casablanca, and he is 2nd seed and he have bye in 1st round in 2nd round he will play vs. Qualifier.

Alot of negativity in tennis forums, media etc etc that Baghdatis as retired two years running at the Australian Open. This year he claimed to be fitter than ever, but like last year called it day when the going got tough.

Jurgen Melzer (AUT) d. Marcos Baghdatis (CYP) 6-7(5) 6-2 6-1 4-3 ret

Once again "Bagman" calls it quits just before CYPRUS loses a BAG full of MONEY. Damned SCANDALOUS the ATP must look into this TANK!

By BAGGDATIS not completing his match against Melzer( 4games Melzer -3 in the 4 set ) ALL of his backs/mates DID NOT LOSE a $$$ ( free bet mates)
By not finishing Baghdatis saved his supporters $$$$ so DRINK UP mates!

Robin Hasse completed his match against Roddick whilst injured, a bit different eh Bagman?

NOTA. This is the second time BAGHDATIS has done this and I think it was in last years OZZIE OPEN!

Baghdatis has withdrawn from Sydney.

we have heard of that before lol
but marcos is definately a top 10 candidate

Might pay to keep an eye on Baghdatis - he's clearly serious about 2011:

Marcos Baghdatis has lost about 10 pounds as a result of an offseason fitness regime that has included mountain biking, gym work and careful eating.

"He drank lots of water, avoided the fatty acids... Everything is steamed or grilled and the portions are the correct portions," Baghdatis' trainer Andreas Nicolaou was quoted saying on the ATP website. "The main thing is to be stable and stay on that number of 10 per cent body fat."

After ending his season early because of a shoulder injury, Baghdatis eased back into a routine, spending two weeks on endurance training and two weeks doing exercises and working on the practice court.

As a measure of Baghdatis' improvement, Nicolaou noted, "He was running 10 metres in 1.7 seconds, now he can do it 1.6 seconds... He used to struggle with 100 kg on the bench press, we can now increase it to 130 kg."

Baghdatis ended the season ranked No. 20, contiuning his long road back after falling to No. 100 during an injury-plagued season in 2008. He reached as high as No. 8 in 2006 after making the Australian Open final that year.

Baghdatis is out for the rest of the year.

Baghdatis: "I am very sorry that I will not be able to see my fans in Basel and Paris this year. I injured my right shoulder in Vienna and have been advised to rest so as not to cause any further damage."
