Baghdatis makes it two in a row by winnng Rotterdam title

Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis won his second title in a row by defeating fellow unseeded player Gilles Muller in straight sets in the final of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam. This followed up his win over the man from Luxembourg last week in the second round of Zagreb and he will see his ranking soar into the top 5 after joining world number one Fabrice Santoro as the only two tournmanet winner this season. However, Baghdatis will have to prove himself on a different surface next week as the tour travels to Dubai for the first of three big hard court events.
