==Professional career==
===2004: First full year as professional===
[[File:Marcos Baghdatis 2004 US Open.JPG|thumb|Baghdatis at the 2004 US Open]]
Baghdatis performed moderately throughout most of 2004. He picked up his form later in that year.

At the [[2004 US Open (tennis)|US Open]], Baghdatis played for the first time in the main draw of a [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournament. He defeated [[Olivier Mutis]] in a first-round match 2–6, 6–2, 6–1, 7–5. He was one of only two players who won a set from eventual champion, [[Roger Federer]] (the other being [[Andre Agassi]]). Baghdatis then finished the year with two Challenger tournament titles, in which he defeated many higher-ranked opponents.

===2005: A rising star===
Baghdatis's 2005 season began with a first-round loss in the [[2005 Chennai Open|Chennai Open]] against [[Nicolas Devilder]]. In his next tournament, the [[2005 Australian Open|Australian Open]], as a qualifier, Baghdatis defeated then-top-20 player [[Ivan Ljubičić]] in the second round and had a straight sets victory over another top-20 player, [[Tommy Robredo]], in the third round, before losing to Roger Federer in the fourth round. Baghdatis suffered an elbow injury right after the Australian Open and was out of the professional tour until late April, when he entered a clay court tournament, the [[Portugal Open|Estoril Open]] in Portugal. He held two match points in his first-round match against a resurging [[Juan Carlos Ferrero]], but failed to convert them into a win.

Baghdatis kept playing Challengers and qualifying for upper-tier ATP events for the rest of 2005 and found good form towards the end of the year. As a qualifier, he reached the final of the ATP tournament at Basel, defeating former world No. 2, [[Tommy Haas]], world No. 40, [[José Acasuso]], and the eventual 2005 [[Masters Cup]] champion [[David Nalbandian]]. But he lost the final to [[Fernando González]] in four sets. Although he was not the first qualifier to reach an [[ATP Tour]] event final, he was the first player from Cyprus to do so. {{Citation needed|date=March 2012}}

===2006: Australian Open final and entering top 10===
[[File:Marcos_Baghdatis_2006.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Baghdatis at Indian Wells in 2006]]
Baghdatis entered the [[2006 Australian Open – Men's singles#Finals|Australian Open]] as an unseeded player, under the coaching of Guillaume Peyre, and produced an unexpected four-set victory over second-seed and world No. 3, [[Andy Roddick]], in the fourth round. He then defeated the seventh seed [[Ivan Ljubičić]] in the quarterfinals in five sets. In the semifinals, he came back from two sets down to defeat fourth seed David Nalbandian in five. The vocal support he enjoyed from his local fans (consisting mostly of members of Melbourne's large [[Greek Australian]] community) throughout the tournament was considered one of the highlights of the tournament. In the final, Baghdatis started strongly (being a set and a break up with a chance to double break), but eventually lost to world No. 1, Roger Federer, in four sets.

At the [[2006 French Open|French Open]], Baghdatis lost in the second round in five sets to [[Julien Benneteau]]. At [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]], Baghdatis defeated [[Andy Murray]] in the fourth round in straight sets. In the quarterfinals, Baghdatis beat the 2002 champion and former world No. 1, [[Lleyton Hewitt]]. Baghdatis then lost to [[Rafael Nadal]] in the semifinals in three sets. At the [[2006 US Open (tennis)|US Open]], Baghdatis defeated [[Alexander Waske]] in the first round. He played retiring Andre Agassi in the second round, and in a long match that lasted past midnight, Baghdatis lost in five sets. This was to be the final victory of Agassi's twenty-year professional career, as he lost to [[Benjamin Becker]] in the following round. At the [[China Open (tennis)|China Open]], an ATP International Series event, Baghdatis defeated [[Mario Ančić]] in the final for his first career ATP tournament championship.

===2007: Second singles title===
[[File:Marcos Baghdatis2007USOPEN.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Marcos Baghdatis serving at the 2007 US Open]]
Baghdatis was the eleventh seed at the [[2007 Australian Open|Australian Open]] but could not match his success from the previous year, losing a second-round match to [[Gaël Monfils]] in four sets. He won his next tournament in [[PBZ Zagreb Indoors|Zagreb]], defeating Ivan Ljubičić in a three-set final. At the [[Marseille Open|Open 13]] tournament in Marseille, France, Baghdatis advanced to his second consecutive singles final and the fifth of his career, where he lost to [[Gilles Simon]] in two sets. At the [[2007 French Open|French Open]], Baghdatis defeated [[Sébastien Grosjean]] in the first round and [[Kristian Pless]] to advance to the third round. There, he defeated [[Jan Hájek (tennis)|Jan Hájek]]. In the fourth round, Baghdatis lost to [[Igor Andreev]] in four sets.

At the first grass-court tournament of the season in [[Gerry Weber Open|Halle]], Baghdatis reached his sixth career singles final by defeating [[Philipp Kohlschreiber]] in the semifinals. In the final, which took place on his birthday, he lost to [[Tomáš Berdych]]. At [[2007 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]], as the tenth seed, he made it to the quarterfinals for the second straight year, defeating [[Ernests Gulbis]], [[Nicolas Devilder]], David Nalbandian, and sixth seed [[Nikolay Davydenko]], before losing to [[Novak Djokovic]] in a five-hour match. At the next Grand Slam, the [[2007 US Open (tennis)|US Open]], Baghdatis was defeated by no. 106 ranked [[Max Mirnyi]] in the first round. At the [[2007 Paris Masters|Paris Masters]], Baghdatis found good form. He reached the semifinals by defeating Nikolay Davydenko and Tommy Robredo. He then lost to second seed Rafael Nadal, in three sets.

===2008–2009: Injuries===
Baghdatis started his season on the [[2008 ATP Tour]] at the [[2008 Chennai Open|Chennai Open]] in India, where he lost to [[Robin Haase]] in the first round.<ref name="Nadal Rolls, Haase Springs New Year Surprise">{{cite news|author=[[Association of Tennis Professionals]]|title=Nadal Rolls, Haase Springs New Year Surprise|url=http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/2008news/chennai_tuesday.asp|date=2008-01-01|access-date=2008-01-01|publisher=Association of Tennis Professionals|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080104014656/http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/2008news/chennai_tuesday.asp|archive-date=4 January 2008 }}</ref> At the [[2008 Australian Open|Australian Open]], Baghdatis defeated 2002 champion [[Thomas Johansson]] and 2005 champion [[Marat Safin]], before losing in the third round to 2005 runner-up Lleyton Hewitt, in five sets.

[[File:Baghdatis 2009 Delray 1.jpg|thumb|Marcos Baghdatis at 2009 Delray Beach International]]
Entering 2009, ranked No. 96 (his best having been 8) and having not played since the ATP Paris Masters in late October 2008, Baghdatis entered the [[2009 Brisbane International|Brisbane International]] in preparation for the [[2009 Australian Open|Australian Open]], losing in the opening round to [[Jarkko Nieminen]].

In the Australian Open, traditionally his best grand slam event, he began with a straight-sets win over 48th-ranked Frenchman Julien Benneteau and followed that up by ousting 16th-seed [[Robin Söderling]] in four sets and 23rd-seed [[Mardy Fish]] in straight sets. In the fourth round he lost in four sets to Novak Djokovic.

After the Australian Open, he played in the [[SA Tennis Open]] tournament in Johannesburg and was the eighth seed. He defeated [[Andrew Anderson (tennis)|Andrew Anderson]] and [[Raven Klaasen]]. In the quarterfinals, he lost to [[David Ferrer]] in two sets. After getting a wild card for San Jose, he drew [[Sam Querrey]] in the first round, and lost in three tight sets. At the [[2009 Delray Beach International Tennis Championships|Delray Beach International Championships]], Baghdatis defeated [[Ernests Gulbis]] and [[Dudi Sela]] before losing to [[Jérémy Chardy]] in the quarterfinals in two tiebreaks. Baghdatis found some form at the [[Ordina Open]] 's-Hertogenbosch 250 tournament, beating 15th-ranked Tommy Robredo 7–5, 6–2, to move into the second round. In the second round, he suffered a match-ending knee injury when playing [[Raemon Sluiter]].

Due to the knee injury suffered at 's-Hertogenbosch, he withdrew from the [[2009 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon Championships]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8107628.stm|publisher=BBC News|title=Baghdatis pulls out of Wimbledon|date=2009-06-19|access-date=2010-05-12}}</ref> Baghdatis returned to the ATP Tour with a three-set loss to [[Wayne Odesnik]] in Indianapolis. In Los Angeles, he progressed to the second round after beating [[Frank Dancevic]] but was upset by [[John Isner]] in straight sets, after holding a set point in the second set. Baghdatis won the [[Odlum Brown Vancouver Open]], a Challenger event over [[Xavier Malisse]] in the final. The title was his first at any level since triumphing at the ATP World Tour 250 tennis tournament in Zagreb in February 2007.

Baghdatis failed to qualify for the Cincinnati Masters, losing to [[Robert Kendrick]] in the opening qualifying round. He won his second ATP Challenger Tour title of the season, after defeating Xavier Malisse again, in the final of the [[Trophée des Alpilles]] in St. Remy. He won his opening match in the ATP 250 tournament in Kuala Lumpur, against [[Lu Yen-hsun]], but was beaten by [[Mikhail Youzhny]] in straight sets in the next round.

In the [[China Open (tennis)|China Open]], an ATP 500 tournament held in Beijing, he drew top seeded Rafael Nadal in the first round. He pushed him hard, but was eventually defeated. It was Nadal's sixth straight win over the Cypriot. At the [[2009 If Stockholm Open]], Baghdatis reached his first ATP final since 2007 at Halle. In the opening round, he upset third seeded [[Juan Carlos Ferrero]] in straight sets. He followed this up with crushing victories over Robert Kendrick and [[Arnaud Clément]]. Top-seed Robin Söderling gave Marcos a walkover into the final. Baghdatis beat Rochus in the final to win just his third ATP title, which ended his two and a half year title drought.

===2010: Return to top 20===
During the 2010 season, Baghdatis was the only player to beat both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal while they were world No. 1.<ref>{{Cite web|title=A tribute to Marcos Baghdatis: the forgotten legend|url=https://www.essentiallysports.com/a-tribute-to-marcos-baghdatis-the-forgotten-legend/|website=essentiallysports.com|date=9 February 2019 |publication-date=2019}}</ref>

The 2010 season saw Baghdatis return to form. He started off the year at the [[Brisbane International]] beating Mardy Fish before losing to Tomáš Berdych, winning just one game. He then entered the [[Medibank International]] tournament in Sydney, where he beat [[Nick Lindahl]], [[Viktor Troicki]] and Lleyton Hewitt, rallying from a set and a break down in the second set to win in a three-sets quarterfinal. Then he defeated Mardy Fish in another heart-stopping three-set win on a final set tie break in the semifinals. In the final, he faced [[Richard Gasquet]]. After a rain delay at the start of the second set, Baghdatis went on to a straight-sets victory, a win which elevated his ATP ranking to No. 31.

At the [[2010 Australian Open|Australian Open]], Baghdatis beat [[Paolo Lorenzi]] in the opening round and 17th seed David Ferrer in the five-sets second round. This marked his second career victory after being down two sets to none, while suffering from leg cramping in the final game. A right shoulder injury forced Baghdatis to retire just 56 minutes into his third round match against Hewitt after trailing 0–6, 2–4.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/articles/2010-01-23/201001231264237944125.html |title=Baghdatis hands Hewitt easy passage |last=Steere |first=Mike |publisher=[[2010 Australian Open]] |access-date=23 January 2010 |location=[[Melbourne]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125211655/http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/articles/2010-01-23/201001231264237944125.html |archive-date=25 January 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/scores/stats/day11/1302ms.html |title=Match Statistics |publisher=2010 Australian Open |access-date=23 January 2010 |location=Melbourne |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100126152759/http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/scores/stats/day11/1302ms.html |archive-date=26 January 2010 }}</ref> After this, his ranking dipped slightly to No. 34 (on 1 January).

In Rotterdam he beat [[James Blake (tennis)|James Blake]] in a comfortable two-sets victory, but lost to in-form Nikolay Davydenko in the second round. Baghdatis made a second-round appearance at the [[2010 Open 13|Open 13]] tournament in Marseille, losing to eventual champion [[Michaël Llodra]]. He then appeared at the [[2010 Dubai Tennis Championships|Dubai Championships]], but came into the tournament with stomach cramps (due to food poisoning). Despite the handicap, he beat No. 8 seed [[Gilles Simon]] and then beat [[Somdev Devvarman]] and [[Michael Berrer]]. In the semifinals, after being a set and a break up, he lost a frustrating match against No. 2 seed and defending champion Novak Djokovic.

At the [[2010 BNP Paribas Open|Indian Wells Masters]] he beat Arnaud Clément in the second round. In the third round, he captured his biggest win to date, stunning world No. 1 Roger Federer in three sets, while saving three match points. By beating Federer for the first time in his career, he reversed a six-match losing streak. However, in the fourth round, he was unable to recuperate in time, losing to Tommy Robredo, despite coming into the match with a 3–0 head-to-head lifetime against Robredo.

At the [[2010 Sony Ericsson Open|Miami Open]] he beat [[Juan Ignacio Chela]] and in the third round, he lost to seventh seed [[Marin Čilić]] in straight sets. Baghdatis had a disappointing start to the clay-court season, being eliminated in the first rounds of both the [[2010 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters|Monte-Carlo Masters]] and the [[2010 Italian Open (tennis)|Rome Masters]] by [[Albert Montañés]] and [[Ernests Gulbis]], respectively. He next played in the [[2010 BMW Open|BMW Open]], where he beat [[Peter Gojowczyk]] in three sets, [[Marco Chiudinelli]] in straight set and [[Philipp Kohlschreiber]] in two sets. For a spot in the final, Baghdatis took on first seed [[Marin Čilić]]. Despite taking the first set, Baghdatis was unable to close out the match, eventually losing in three erratic sets. He then made a quarterfinal appearance at the [[2010 Open de Nice Côte d'Azur|Open de Nice Côte d'Azur]] as the fifth seed, where he was upset by Argentinian [[Leonardo Mayer]] in three sets, despite saving 21 of 24 break points in the match.

At the [[2010 French Open|French Open]], Baghdatis was beaten by Britain's [[Andy Murray]] in the third round in four sets. He suffered a surprisingly poor run in the 2010 grass-court season. He went out in the first rounds in all three grass court tournaments he entered by [[Philipp Petzschner]] in Halle, [[Peter Luczak]] in s-Hertogenbosch, and [[Lukáš Lacko]] at Wimbledon. It was the worst showing he had had in Wimbledon, and even more disappointing as he had a good history record in the past few years there. However, a reshuffle behind the scenes after the grass court season has resulted in Baghdatis once again working with Guillaume Perye.

He reached the quarterfinals at the [[2010 Farmers Classic|Farmers Classic]] in Los Angeles, where he lost to [[Janko Tipsarević]] for the first time in their third meeting, and reached the final at the [[2010 Legg Mason Tennis Classic|Legg Mason Tennis Classic]] in Washington, where he lost to in-form David Nalbandian.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/tennis/nalbandian-wins/|title=Nalbandian upsets Baghdatis in Washington|publisher=Sportsnet|accessdate=24 September 2025}}</ref> Baghdatis was ousted in the opening round at the [[2010 Rogers Cup|Rogers Cup]] in Toronto, losing to [[Jérémy Chardy]] in three sets. At the [[2010 Western & Southern Financial Group Masters and Women's Open|Cincinnati Masters]], he found decent form. In the first round, he beat Marin Čilić for the first time. In the second round, he toughed out a three-sets victory over Brazilian [[Thomaz Bellucci]], followed by a two-sets victory in the third round against Tomáš Berdych. In the quarterfinals, after six successive losses against the Spaniard, he finally defeated Rafael Nadal for the first time in his career. It was his second win over a world No. 1 that year, having earlier defeated then-No. 1 Roger Federer at the [[2010 BNP Paribas Open|Indian Wells Masters]]. Oddly, he defeated a world-number-one player on his seventh attempt again. As he stated back in March 2010 after beating Federer, "Seven is my lucky number." For only the second time, he made the semifinals of a Masters 1000 tournament, but here he could not beat Roger Federer again, as he succumbed to his in-form opponent in two sets.

Just before his campaign at the US Open, he made an appearance at the last tune-up tournament, the [[2010 Pilot Pen Tennis]] in New Haven, Connecticut. Baghdatis had a chance to win the year's [[2010 US Open Series|US Open Series]] if he won this tournament. Appearing as the top seeded player, he beat [[Igor Andreev]] for the first time and then came back from a set down to defeat [[Juan Ignacio Chela]] to reach the quarterfinals. However, he lost to the eventual champion, [[Sergiy Stakhovsky]] on a final-set tie break in the quarterfinals. Arriving at the [[2010 US Open – Men's singles|US Open]], he lost in the first round in five sets to Arnaud Clément.

===2011: Solid season===
Baghdatis started the [[2011 ATP World Tour|2011]] season by competing in the [[2011 Brisbane International – Men's singles|Brisbane International]], losing in the quarterfinal to defending champion and second-seeded American [[Andy Roddick]] in two sets. He made it to the third round of the [[2011 Australian Open – Men's singles|Australian Open]], before retiring midway through the fourth set against [[Jürgen Melzer]] due to a finger injury. Baghdatis had a very quiet summer on the ATP tour, his most noticeable appearance was at the [[2011 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon Championships]] where he was the 32nd seed and gave eventual winner Novak Djokovic a tough test in the third round, losing in four sets, during a point in the match Djokovic was unable to keep his cool on the Centre Court and at the end of losing a long rally repeatedly hit the grass court with his racket.

Just before the US Series, Baghdatis teamed up with British coach [[Miles Maclagan]]. Baghdatis found some form in the Kuala Lumpur, where he was runner up to a determined [[Janko Tipsarević]]. In Tokyo, Baghdatis lost narrowly to Andy Murray in three sets. After the match Murray commented kindly that, "I think he played very well. At the end of the third set, we were both playing good tennis, but in the first two he was the better player. Marcos is a very, very good player. He might not have played his best tennis so far this year, but he has been close to the top 10 before. He has a lot of talent, a big serve and has many ways to hurt you on the court."{{citation needed|date=January 2012}}

At Wimbledon, his campaign was in doubt due to the calf injury suffered at Nottingham. However, he decided to participate, and with his left calf heavily strapped, he defeated Donald Young in four sets in the opening round. In round 2, Baghdatis, struggling with his calf injury and form, was trailing two sets and a break down against Australian qualifier John Millman. However, the Cypriot produced one of the most incredible comebacks in recent Grand Slam history to defeat Millman in over three hours. Baghdatis ran out of gas in round 3, with David Goffin exacting revenge against the Cypriot with a comfortable victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/tennis/john-millman-goes-down-fighting-in-five-sets-to-marco-baghdatis/news-story/3f6c176fccc59ba25617be0726c08a92|title=Millman goes down swinging in thriller|date=1 July 2015|website=Couriermail.com.au|access-date=26 March 2019}}</ref>

It was my first match of the year and I lack a bit of rhythm, especially under pressure. I had some chances in the third set but the lack of matches before the tournament made me make wrong decisions at those moments."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://baghdatis.com/articles/view/marcos-reflects-on-australian-open|title=Marcos Baghdatis :: Articles :: Marcos Reflects on Australian Open|website=baghdatis.com|access-date=26 March 2019}}</ref>
