In my opinion, phrases like "one of the greatest ever" and "epic" smacks too much of POV and journalese. I am an admirer of Baghdatis game myself, but let's not get carried away. We are writing an encyclopedia and we would probably like to maintain an encyclopedic tone in an article. - 210.4.69.4 14:29, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Email address?

Should someone's email address really be in an encyclopedia? Trevor Andersen 07:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridicolous, there is no place for contact addresses in an article. As said, some people are getting too carried away with the excitement. This is not a "fan club" webpage. --Momolee 09:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. There's already links to several fan pages. The email provided can't even be verified anyway. --Madchester 18:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anticipation

In about an hour or three from now, this won't matter anymore, but someone has already said he lost to Federer before it may or may not happen. I think that's just stupid, you never try to predict the future like that. I've removed that edit, but I'm just voicing that I think that's ridiculous.

Not really! I put $50 on Federer to win!

Why Baghdatis?

Since his name in greek is written with a 'Π', it should be transcribed with a P, shouldn't it?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.205.225.170 (talk • contribs)

Παγδατής may be simplified for Μπαγδατής, to make it look less foreign... AnonMoos 19:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes if the name is Lebanese I doubt it starts with the letter P--Steven X 01:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mpaghdatis?!--Steven X 00:45, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted "unfortunately" from the sentence that talked about his injury. I agree that it was unfortunate, but you would never see opinionated words like that in a real encyclopedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanley011 (talk • contribs)

Playing style

"Also, before every serve he quickly bounces the ball between his legs with his Fischer Pro-Speed racquet, which is often emulated by aspiring junior tennis players."

This is an awkward, unrelated comment about a quirky mennerism of Baghdatis and has nothing to do with his tennis. Plus Baghdatis actually picked it up from watching early Federer. Anyway, how "Fischer Pro-speed racquet" and "emulation by juniors" got tied up with this trivia is beyond comprehension. I am deleting the sentence. --- 202.59.136.82 21:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Makes unforced errors too much

If there is a weakness structurally with his game, that is it. He simply GAVE nadal the second set, but nadal is a doper anyway so who cares?

Foleys

Is it true he went to foley's graamer school in cy. There are alot of roumors going round that he did but i dnt want 2 add it coz its roumor--Slogankid 20:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

whoever keeps changing the score in the final of the A open in 2006, just to let you know he was defeated in the A open by Roger Federer. He did not win
