Right, I'm going to give people one more night to send in their points. The following haven't:

Sampras
Muster
Gaudio
Patience
Malisse
Nieminen
Moya
Coria

I have sent pms to remind these people but some haven't read them and some just haven't sent in points for whatever reason. If these don't send points by tomorrow, whenever I wake up, then they shall be either replaced in the draw or suffer walkovers. If they do not send in points again next week, I'll omit them from future draws until I get confirmation that they want to continue. So, when I get up in the morning, I will post the first round of results, with or without these peoples' points if they don't send them in by then.

Baghdatis snaps Santoro run to claim inaugral Zagreb title

Unseeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis ended world number one Fabrice Santoro's fantastic streak of wins with a three set victory in the final of the first ever Zagreb International in the Croatian capital. Santoro had confounded critics who said he couldn't play indoors by reaching the final but Baghdatis' greater carpet ability proved telling as he was able to bounce back from losing a tight first set to blitz the top seed in the next two. Next up is the indoor event in Rotterdam next week where Baghdatis will undoubtedly be one of the favourites after his success here.
