I was watching the second round match of Michael Baker and Gilles Simon during the French Open this year. At that time, I had no idea yet who Michael Baker was and while watching the match, Gilles, won the first two sets without incident. Suddenly, Baker came alive - and I think won the next two sets - and you can really see that he can play well, really well, on clay! Well, he lost the fifth set though, but in a way, it introduced me to the wonderful story behind this guy!
Well, he's already in the fourth round of Wimbledon - and may even go deeper, since Rosol took out Nadal, Baker can capitalize on the situation, especially that he is ON THE SIDE of Nadal's draw! Lucky devil! If he just plays within himself, he might just reach his first Grand Slam semifinal!!
