Marat Safin, Marcos Baghdatis face-off

I’m watching the replay of the Marcos Baghdatis/Marat Safin match. How nerdy is that? I already know who wins – Baghdatis in a 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 battle – but here I sit, glued to the television as though it were live.

I love tennis; what can I say?

With the victory, Baghdatis will face Lleyton Hewitt. I was going to throw my support behind Baghdatis but comparing the match statistics, Hewitt was more solid in his last match than Baghdatis was against Safin. So – who knows? We all saw what happened when I picked Andy Murray to make a deep run so maybe I should just sit here and watch the reruns.
