Davydenko d. Verdasco 6-2 7-5 4-6 6-7 6-3
A pretty crummy performance from Davy if you ask me.
“Mr Playstation” is no more, or has regressed temporarily into a ZX Spectrum.
There was nothing ‘high’ or ‘radiant’ about the highlights reel I saw, with both players struggling to keep the ball in court and Dasco gaffing his way to 81 UFEs.
He raised his game by one barely detectable notch in that final set, but one wonders if Davy would have made the finish line had Dasco displayed just a little more belief.
Loyalties aside, would we really want him to win his first Slam playing like this?
I can only hope this is something of a blip - he’ll be lucky to get a set off Federer playing this way.
