Disappointed to hear that Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis had to pull his name out of the draw at the Atlanta Tennis Championships. This is a loss for the event as Baghdatis is a popular player when he plays in the States.
This could turn into a positive as it may open the door for another top 30 or top 20 player to make his way to Atlanta. One wildcard is left and it shold be able to attract another name player to this event leading up to the U.S. Open.
