Baghdatis misses out on final

Marcos Baghdatis was unable to mark his 26th birthday with a place in the final of the UNICEF Open after losing to Ivan Dodig.

The second seed had earlier swept through his rain-delayed quarter-final against Denis Gremelmayr 6-1 6-0 in 47 minutes, before he ran out of steam against Dodig to fall 7-6 6-1.
