Baghdatis fans may have been baffled by the game of tennis and its rules, but they understood how to pull off the noisy celebration between winning points in yesterday's Round of 16 routing of Andy Roddick . Sounding very much like, "I lost my car keys, I lost my car keys," the blue and white-draped crowd was actually chanting, "Marcos, you are crazy with the white t-shirt" after every point. Before the match Baghdatis took them aside and explained some of the rudimentary rules of the game as it is not a game played by many Cypriots. Baghdatis said in his post-game interview when asked how many people had seen the match in Cyprus where it was televised live, "Possibly the whole of Cyprus."
