Our Champion Marcos Baghdatis has moved towards the quarters of the Medibank International tournament at Sydney - Australia after defeating the No. 29 of the world, Vitkor Troicki of Serbia, 7-5, 6-3.
Our Champion exhibited a high momentum of solid playing during both sets, although being down in the first set 3-1. As opposite to his last week´s performance in Brisbane against Berdych, Baghdatis showed great confidence in his first serve, reaching nearly 60%, putting the needed pressure on his opponent, forcing him into unforced errors during the second set.
Marcos next opponent in the quarters is Lleytton Hewitt. Memories go back to year 2008 and the mind-breaking battle among the two which finished at 04:00 am with Hewitt being the winner on the 5th set.
This is the first time the two players meet away from a Grand Slam event.
