World No.30, Marcos Baghdatis from Cyprus, who lost in the third round on Friday to Andy Murray, was kind enough to answer our “if you were…” questions.
If you were a country?
Cyprus. I love my country. I need to go home on a regular basis to recharge my batteries and get back in touch with my roots. I left Cyprus when I was 14 years old, which is undoubtedly why I feel so attached to it. I had a tennis court built so I can train at home and spend more time there.
If you were a city?
Sydney. I took a three-week vacation there and loved it.
If you were an appetizer?
Saganaki, a Greek cheese (resembles feta). You eat it as an appetizer and it’s fresh and delicious.
If you were a film?
Tie Break (a documentary about the Mouratoglou academy, where Marcos trained).
If you were a song?
“Genethlia,” which means birthday in Greek.
If you were a car?
An Audi R8 Spider.
If you were a drink?
(Someone suggests gin & tonic). Oh no! Water. Water is very good.
If you were a tournament?
Bâle. The people are really nice, the atmosphere is relaxed, and I feel good there.
If you had a special power?
Invincible, like Superman.
If you were a football player?
Wayne Rooney.
If you were a sport other than tennis?
Football.
If you were an airport?
Amsterdam.
If you were a time of day?
9pm.
If you were a website?
Twitter.
If you were a place in Paris?
My parents’ house, in Levаllois.
If you were a romantic location?
A bateau-mouche (sightseeing boat on the Seine River).
