    Did anybody see his game against Novak Djokovic?

    I found myself rather loudly supporting Marcos. Did anybody else?

    Yes, totally brilliant match. Djokovic's racket abuse turned the crowd's favour towards Baghdadis, a player I've always enjoyed watching. Shame he couldn't snatch the win.

    Baghdadis had a great match and was supporting him all the way.

    Yes. A great game. And although I am a bit of a Novak Djokovic fan I must confess I was starting to change my allegience towards Baghdatis as the game went on.

    I don't think the crowd were necessarily against Djokovic. I just think they had all taken to Baghdatis.

    I guess we all like to see the underdog do well. Particularly when he plays with the passion, commitment and with a smile on his face as Baghdatis did.

    A great game and a one of the highlights of the first week at Wimbledon.

    I think the crowd started to turn against Djokovic when he lost it and slammed his racket multiple times on the ground. I don't think i have ever seen a player with so much experience lose it so easily

    i was there and it was Baghdatis' general demeanor which swung the crowd. He was always joking about between points and at times out-rallying Djokovic. In fairness to Novak he often recognised how well Bags was playing and other than the racket abuse was very sporting
