Advantage: Heelys

And a great ending it was to my day.

Whoever said that overnight sensation Marcos Baghdatis beating a supposedly off-form 2nd-seeder Andy Roddick was due to sheer fluke?

Eat your words.

Last night, eyes all over the globe were gifted with yet another deliciously miraculous feat by the 20-year-old Greek Cypriot, who aced his way to his first-ever OZ Open final—excuse me, make that his first-ever Grand Slam final—from two games down.

It was, undoubtedly, no easy task, no was José. The 2003 world junior champ had to sweat buckets in the semi-final versus Argentine David Nalbandian [4th seed] who has been oozing with on-form tennis for the past few months, spelling on-court toughness for himself and on his opponent.

The first two sets saw Nalbandian having an answer to almost every challenge that Baghdatis threw his way, and this appeared to have broken the younger player's game and confidence, resulting in 3-6 and 5-7 in favour of the Argentine.

The problem was, Nalbandian got Baghdatis thinking**.

Which, gathering from his last three post-match interviews, seems to be Baghdatis's Achilles' heel.

Refusing to let his fans down, however, Baghdatis snapped out of negativity and bounced back on his power-Heelys feet (you know, he with the wheels in his sole). Gone were the wrecked nerves witnessed in the first two, and back were the power serves and epic returns.

Slowly but surely, Baghdatis started to conquer one game at a time in unforgettable and almost unbelievable fashion.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

**Moral of the story? Stop thinking and start doing.
