The Australian Open starts Monday, but the 2006 runner-up wants only to concentrate on Roddick in Saturday's Kooyong final.

Asked about an Australian Open draw that has him opening against 2002 champion Thomas Johansson and possible first-week matches against 2005 champion Marat Safin and 2005 runner-up Lleyton Hewitt, Baghdatis said "I don't want to know."

Baghdatis prevailed 6-2, 7-5 over Gonzalez, a finalist at last year's Australian Open. The players were laboring in temperatures that reached 100 degrees Friday when the draw for the season's first major was being made.

"I'll see by myself later," he said, responding to questions about the Open. "I come here and try to win, for sure" against Roddick tomorrow.

"I'll start thinking about the Aussie Open after the match."

Baghdatis beat Roddick in the fourth round at the Australian Open two years ago, but lost their past two encounters.

After peaking at a career-high No. 8 in the rankings in 2006, Baghdatis slipped to 16 last year. But he is concentrating more on fitness and consistency and aiming to get back into the Top 10.

"I have the game to beat anybody — I don't want to have a big head — but I have, so I'll just try to go on the court and find a solution to win," Baghdatis said.

Gonzalez's Australian Open draw puts him on course to meet top-ranked Roger Federer — 27-1 in the past four years at the Australian Open — in the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park.

He gets one more match at Kooyong on Saturday, playing for third place against Safin — the only man to beat Federer at the Australian Open in four years.

Baghdatis is glad to get match practice on the new Plexicushion surface at Kooyong, which is also being used for the first time at the Australian Open.

He only entered Kooyong as a late replacement for Federer, who withdrew from his regular Open warmup because of a serious stomach virus last weekend.

David Nalbandian and Tommy Haas also withdrew from the tournament, while No. 4-ranked Nikolay Davydenko forfeited his second match because of the heat.
