It has been a superb clay court week for our Champion Marcos Baghdatis who has reached his first semi-final of the year on red clay, at the BMW Open in Munich.
Once more Marin Cilic proved a very tough opponent against our Champion who proved that he had all the chances to reach the final of this event in Germany. Our Champion, after defeating the crowd's favourite, Philipp Kolschreiber of Germany, appeared very confident and solid on court, battling the first set to 6-3 lead. However, being down two breaks in the second, Marcos lost the second set 6-2 and the final set 6-3 after losing the chance for four break points.
On Monday, our Champion travels to Madrid for the ATP 1000 event, continuing his clay court appearances on his way to the Grand Slam in Paris.
