One and Done: Marcos Baghdatis Coachless

There’s another job opening for all you tennis coaches out there. Yiannos Hadjigeorgiou cited personal reasons when he stepped down from his perch as Marcos Baghdatis’ coach and really didn’t have much to say beyond that. Hadjigeorgiou will continue coaching Baghdatis as the  Davis Cup team captain.

Popcorn 2008 Tennis Awards

I have been dying to write about the 2008 Popcorn Tennis Awards but it has been overshadowed by things like Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova winning Australian Open titles. Like that is a big deal or something.
