Underdog Day

Marcos Baghdatis just beat Andy Roddick in 4 sets. I watch mostly underdog matches, these days. Not much fun watching the top seeds. The post match interview with Jim Courier was fun. Jim asks Marcos among other things how long he has been with his girlfriend. Marcos refused to answer that. Then Jim, much like a TV host brought up on voyeuristic programming persisted and looking at her in the crowd, asked the same question and held up his fingers, asking one, two, three...
It went unanswered, thankfully.

Now the best part. Marcos now plays the winner of Ljubicic or Johansson. So Jim asked Marcos what he would be doing later in the day, partying or watching the match. Marcos said he would be sleeping. He said his coach would be watching! And then he added he would be sleeping with his girlfriend! The crowds went crazy! Apparently, he bought tickets for some of them. Jim hoped that Marcos would do well enough, to earn a lot of money and buy tickets for all of them. For those in the unknown, Marcos is a Cypriot.
