In my opinion, phrases like "one of the greatest ever" and "epic" smacks too much of POV and journalese. I am an admirer of Baghdatis game myself, but let's not get carried away. We are writing an encyclopedia and we would probably like to maintain an encyclopedic tone in an article. - 210.4.69.4 14:29, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
There's a lot of unsourced text in this article that has POV problems. I'm not energetic enough to go through and edit it extensively nor brave enough to put a NPOV warning at the top, but I might if this isn't cleaned up. JordanHenderson ( talk) 01:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Should someone's email address really be in an encyclopedia? Trevor Andersen 07:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
This is ridicolous, there is no place for contact addresses in an article. As said, some people are getting too carried away with the excitement. This is not a "fan club" webpage. -- Momolee 09:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Removed. There's already links to several fan pages. The email provided can't even be verified anyway. -- Madchester 18:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
In about an hour or three from now, this won't matter anymore, but someone has already said he lost to Federer before it may or may not happen. I think that's just stupid, you never try to predict the future like that. I've removed that edit, but I'm just voicing that I think that's ridiculous.
Since his name in greek is written with a 'Π', it should be transcribed with a P, shouldn't it?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.205.225.170 ( talk • contribs)
HIS FAMILY NAME ORIGINALLY WAS BAGHDADY " MENTIONED IN A LEBANESE NEWSPAPER", AS MOST OF ARABIC FAMILY NAMES END WITH Y, BUT MAY BE THE FATHER CHANGED HIS NAME BY ADDING THE SUFFIX "IS" TO HARMONIZE WITH CYPRIOT NAMES.
I'm pretty sure his father, despite being Lebanese, is of Greek decent. So I think the name is Greek. I cannot find any sites which prove that his father is of Greek decent, but the face that his father's name is Christos, which is a Greek name, and is also Greek Orthodox is a strong indication that he is of Greek decent. Also I doubt that his father changed is sirname to 'harmonize' with Cypriot names, because Greek-Cypriots don't usually follow the rule of having names end with IS or OS as other Greeks do.
The surname "Baghdadi" hellenicized to "Baghdatis" indicates his father's side originate from Baghdad, Iraq, and migrated to Lebanon.

I deleted "unfortunately" from the sentence that talked about his injury. I agree that it was unfortunate, but you would never see opinionated words like that in a real encyclopedia.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanley011 ( talk • contribs)
"Also, before every serve he quickly bounces the ball between his legs with his Fischer Pro-Speed racquet, which is often emulated by aspiring junior tennis players."
This is an awkward, unrelated comment about a quirky mennerism of Baghdatis and has nothing to do with his tennis. Plus Baghdatis actually picked it up from watching early Federer. Anyway, how "Fischer Pro-speed racquet" and "emulation by juniors" got tied up with this trivia is beyond comprehension. I am deleting the sentence. --- 202.59.136.82 21:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
If there is a weakness structurally with his game, that is it. He simply GAVE nadal the second set, but nadal is a doper anyway so who cares?
Is it true he went to foley's graamer school in cy. There are alot of roumors going round that he did but i dnt want 2 add it coz its roumor-- Slogankid 20:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

He was defeated by a French Tennis player in the Australian Open . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.163.145.69 ( talk) 13:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC).
whoever keeps changing the score in the final of the A open in 2006, just to let you know he was defeated in the A open by Roger Federer. He did not win
Regarding: In it, Baghdatis is holding a flare and taking part in chants against the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
The chant was "Turks out" - on what basis has this article arbitrarily decided that the chanters were referring to the Turkish military rather than the Turkish Cypriot community themselves?
It was, afterall, the policy of the Cypriot Government prior to Turkish military presence that there is no place in Cyprus for people of Turkish ancestry.
"Unless this small Turkish community, forming part of the Turkish race, which has been the terrible enemy of Hellenism is expelled, the duty of the heroes of Eoka can never be considered as terminated." - President Makarios
"There is no place in Cyprus for anyone who is not Greek." - Interior Minister Yorgadjis
Would it not be better to simply quote the chant and leave it to the readers judgement? By all means, this can be accompanied by his post-event explanations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.135.28.86 ( talk) 19:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Christos Baghdatis doesn't sound Lebanese to me, it sounds Greek. If his father was Greek, it would explain why he moved to Cyprus. Was his father at least part paternaly Greek and should we make note of that? -- TheShadowCrow ( talk) 00:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
The Arabic version of his name given in the article is different from the Arabic Wikipedia interwiki link. AnonMoos ( talk) 22:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
