The Cypriot can’t play because of a foot injury
One more seeded player was forced to withdraw without playing a single point at Garanti Koza Sofia Open 2017. A day after Philipp Kohlschreiber, seeded N6, announced he won’t come in the Bulgarian capital because of a back pain, Marcos Baghdatis withdrew due to a foot injury.
The Cypriot is seeded number 7 in Sofia. The 31-year-old 2006 Australian Open Finalist is now number 35 in the world.His injury will favor the “lucky loser” Marco Tepavac, who lost in the second qualifying round to Maximilian Marterer 6:7 (4), 5:7.
Tepavac is the second “lucky loser” in Sofia alongside with Teymuraz Gabashvili. The Russian lost today to Daniel Brands 4:6, 6:3, 4:6, but will play in the main draw instead of injured Philipp Kohlschreiber.
