BAGHDATIS COACH CALLS IT QUITS

Marcos Baghdatis' coach quit Wednesday after less than a year in the job.

Yiannos Hadjigeorgiou, who will continue to coach the 17th-ranked Baghdatis as Cyprus' Davis Cup captain, told the 2006 Australian Open finalist that he was stepping down due to personal reasons.

``This decision, taken after much thought, is owed to clearly family reasons. The decision I have taken is the most appropriate,'' Hadjigeorgiou said on the Cypriot tennis federation's Web site.

``I impressed upon (Baghdatis) that I would always be by his side, as in the past, for whatever he may need.''

Hadjigeorgiou started coaching Baghdatis in May 2007. No replacement has been named.
