Baghdatis injured in Metz

Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus withdrew from his first-round match at the Metz Open ATP tournament with what appeared to be a serious back injury.
Baghdatis had won the first set 6-4 and was trailing Croatia's Ivo Karlovic 2-1 in the second when he screamed with pain and fell on to the court after serving.

He received treatment on his back for several minutes before being carried out on a stretcher.

Top seed Karlovic goes on to meet Spain's Carlos Moya.
