Monte Carlo Tennis Masters

I did manage to catch an opening round match this afternoon between Marcos Bagdhatis and Max Mirnyi. In more than a mild upset, Marcos went down in straight sets. Yes, that's right the Australian Open finalist from a year ago lost to a man who has not won a singles match at all since THIS years Australian Open. This begs the question what's up with Marcos? Was last year's success a fluke or is he in some kind of sophomore slump? I guess only time and more matches will tell. I am leaning more towards the slump right now. He still has flashes of brilliant shot making out there on the court but the belief that the ball will land in seems to be gone. Me thinks that perhaps it is time for a coaching change...
