Bags has got the shots.LOL.Someday a coach will get him to stop getting involved in the long rallies that eventually exhaust him (in the long run.) He has the better shots than most players,but when he uses his energy up in long rallies,it plays into their hands.See tonight,he just sent this into 5 sets.He will have nothing to give in his next match(if he gets through here.)

Well,those are 2 incredibly game individuals.Baghdatis' matches often look this way.If he had won,he couldn't of gone far with his legs shot. I think he cramped like that in Australia too.Guy has big problems with his legs,and fitness(in general.) Not overweight.So,maybe he just needs to stop having the long rallies,and shorten the length of his matches(for sure.)

People were wearing jackets, it was not that hot. The guy is not in shape. Its shameful actually. Andre is in fantastic shape, he just has very little flexibility and severly limited mobility. These younger guys... some of them have never been in top shape. I doubt Bags knows what it feels like. Take 10lbs-15 lbs off him and we got a player.

I'm not convinced that he is out of shape.Maybe.That is not a guy carrying a lot of extra weight.Maybe 5-10.I just think that, genetically, some people are simply not made to have as much stamina as we assume.We assume all human athletes have great stamina.That's because those without stamina don't make it very far in most sports(especially tennis.)Might just be a case where a rare low stamina athlete makes it on T.V.,because he has so much shot-making talent. Joggers tend to think everybody can run as far as they do(if they keep trying to do it,)but I think joggers are high stamina humans to begin with(or else they would hate jogging.)I am not convinced that more cardio (and less body weight )is gunna get Baghdatis to stop huffin n' puffin.I hope your right,and I am wrong.The truth is probably in between the 2 views.

I have never watched a full tennis match until this tourney. I am hooked. I could not get to sleep last night I was so excited after watching Agassi and Bagdahtis.
