Philipp Petzschner meets Marcos Baghdatis in the first round of the ATP Halle Open
The ATP Halle Open main draw gets underway today, with some intriguing matches on show. On paper, the biggest first round crowd-puller appears to be the showdown between Philipp Petzschner of Germany, and Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus. Although the Gerry Weber Open is hosting a number of other potentially entertaining matches, the clash between the world number thirty (Baghdatis) and the world number thirty-nine (Petzschner) looks set to be not only action-packed, but also very tight.
The Halle crowd will no doubt be lending their support to Petzschner, who may be able to draw some inspiration from this. In such a close match, this may even be a significant factor that turns the tide in his favour. It really is difficult to choose a winner here though, especially given the fact that the pairing have never played against each other on the Tour prior to this match.
The Gerry Weber Open gives us a prime opportunity to see how many of the players are shaping up in the run-up to Wimbledon. It may even be worth keeping an eye on Baghdatis today, as he’s managed to exceed expectations at Wimbledon in previous years. Things may pan out in a variety of ways today, but what’s certain is that this match should be a great first round tie.
