Baghdatis wins fourth title

Former Australian Open Finalist Marcos Baghdatis clinched his fourth title of his career in a straight set victory over Richard Gasquet 6-4 7-6 in the Medibank Internation in Sydney. Baghdatis clinched the first set with one break of serve. However he was forced to battle in the second set trailing 5-2. Gasquet failed to serve out for the set and subsequently Baghdatis went on to clinch the title in a tie breaker. Both will go into the Australian Open as unseeded threats and with the confidence they have they could prove a real threat to the higher ranked players.

    I thought he was going to lose it when he was 5-2 down in the 2nd but Reeshar buckled and a great TB won it for Marcos.

    Those Cypriot fans are nuts too, LOL.
