NICOSIA (AFP) — Cyprus is looking forward to Marcos Baghdatis once again upsetting all the odds in a major tournament to become the country's first ever Wimbledon champion.
"Unstoppable," roared Thursday's edition of the Simerini newspaper commenting on the Cypriot's impressive defeat of 2002 champion Leyton Hewitt. "Baghdatis lights up Wimbledon," beamed Alithia daily.
Despite an apparent lack of interest in the early rounds of Wimbledon, Cyprus is now fully aware the 18th seed can make sporting history by securing a first ever grand slam title.
Baghdatis proved his Australian Open final run was no fluke after outplaying Hewitt in a 6-1, 5-7, 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 quarter-final triumph on Wednesday.
