Davydenko beat Nadal?

Question

6-1 7-6. Well what can I say it was basically a repeat of the Shanghai final. Oh well good win for Davydenko! His really hitting the ball cleanly. What did you think of the match overall?

It was kind of expected. Nadal isn't playing at a high level right now, any of the 7 guys will school him.

Quick simple answer thanks!

Answer 2

Nicolai hit the ball well and has obviously learned how to play Raffa. Having said that, I think Raffa looked sluggish and I suspect he is still carrying the abdominal injury he has had for a while. His movement around the court wasn't great so perhaps the knees are still bothering him too. If that is the case he may not be able to train as hard as he usually does.On the other hand, he may be saving himself for the Davis Cup as we know how much he reveres the chance to play for his country. Don't forget he has the OZ Open title to defend too and that's late January. And one other thing, he can hardly be on top of his game when his parents are going through divorce - and they all live in the same house!

Answer 3

good match, but I dont think that it will rally matter for these two from here on in the tournament...
I dont think that Djokovic will lose to Rafa.( seeing that he has been playing not so well lately)
and I dont think that Davydenko can take out Soderling, he just defeated Djokovic /:
overall I wish that Rafa would have put up a better fight in the first set...
