NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) _ The mother of tennis player Marcos Baghdatis had minor surgery Monday after falling ill while watching her son play in the Australian Open final, her brother said.
``She's out of surgery and she's fine,'' Pambos Charalambous told The Associated Press.
Androulla Baghdatis fell ill on Sunday during her son's loss to top-ranked Roger Federer.
``She will be fine by Friday when Marcos arrives (home),'' Charalambous said.
Charalambous said his sister had gall stones and her condition worsened in the days before the final. Baghdatis, a former world junior champion, beat several seeded players, including Andy Roddick, Ivan Ljubicic and David Nalbandian, to reach the final.
Local authorities in Limassol, his hometown, have already announced they will name a street after Baghdatis.
