With Christmas just over five weeks away, why not purchase some great Marcos Baghdatis merchandise as the perfect stocking fillers for friends and family.
In 2006, the year Marcos burst onto the scene with a run to the Australian Open final, he penned his own book detailing his path to the top. At the time, Marcos wrote: “I am twenty one years old, and I have just became one of the best players in the world. This book is my way of thanking the people I love and to talk a little about my life for those who are interested in my career."
Through his book, Marcos wanted to share with his fans how he has developed as a sportsman and a person. He explains how his pure will and desire has enabled him to become one of the best players in the world. Leaving Cyprus at such a young age meant Marcos endured a difficult path to the top, which has made him a stronger individual and developed him into an exceptional person. In his book he gives a testimony about his private and professional life wrought with realism and honesty.
After an injury-ridden 2008, Marcos is currently training hard on his tennis and physical conditioning to prepare a fresh assault in the 2009 season – a perfect time to reflect on his previous successes! You can purchase the book in Cyprus, or right here at www.baghdatis.com for just 24.99EUR.
Marcos is also featured in the glamorous ATP 2009 World Tour calendar – posing alongside the likes of Dmitry Tursunov, Tommy Robredo, Fernando Verdasco, Tomas Berdych, Bob and Mike Bryan, Fernando Gonzalez, Tommy Haas, Ivan Ljubicic, Paul-Henri Mathieu, Juan Monaco, Paradorn Srichaphan and Mikhail Youzhny.
“It's a big honour for me to be in this calendar," said Marcos. "Since I was a kid it was my dream to become a professional tennis player, so here I am today with all these good players, doing stuff like modeling, playing on court, doing activities. So it's great to be part of the ATP as a team."
If you fancy hanging Marcos and other tennis stars on your wall in 2009, then make sure you get this fantastic calendar in time for the new season. It’s available for just $13 from Tennis Warehouse.
Don’t forget you can watch a behind the scenes video of how the calendar was put together – including footage of Marcos - in our videos section.
