Marcos Baghdatis at his favorite tournament in Wimbledon

No matter who Christopher Kas has asked as a guest at "Kasi Live" in our Instagram account "tennisnetnews" about her or his favorite tournament over the past few weeks: The answer was almost continuously the Australian Open. That shouldn't be any different with Marcos Baghdatis - after all, he celebrated his greatest sporting success with the 2006 finals in Melbourne. Baghdatis also had another favorite: "Wimbledon always felt like a palace to me," said the four-time tournament winner on the ATP tour.

In addition to Marcos Baghdatis' sporting exploits, tennis fans also remembered the Cyprus freak at the 2012 Australian Open. In a matter of seconds, Baghdatis smashed several rackets - an episode that is rather embarrassing to him these days. After all, he now has three children and generally wants to be a role model for the young generation. "I regret destroying the rackets the most," said the 34-year-old.

Zverev with too many mental problems

A little surprising then was the prediction of Bagdhatis, who would most likely win a Grand Slam tournament after the big three: The naming of the names Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev was less surprising than the omission of Alexander Zverev . The German is just too inconsistent. Zverev's tennis is good enough, but from Bagdathis' point of view he is too concerned with himself. And things off the court.

The transition to the next guest, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, went extremely smoothly - because like Baghdatis, the Russian played a racket from Fischer in his prime. Adidas tour coach Mats Merkel will provide information on "Kasi live" from 6 p.m. today.
