My impression on this year's Ausie Open Man's tennis

Will Nikolay Darvydenko follow Marat Safin to be the next Russian Australian Open Champion ?

Looks like it.

& {' M( e6 F0 \1 L) Y" [4 d7 U/ | For me,  his next quarter final match with Roger Federer  will decide who is this year's champion, it is the actual championship match.

+ s" o  }$ }" R: H* d0 |7 MTake the fact he beat both Federer and Nadal in one tournament twice in a row  in these two months. He has a chance. We will probably see a new Champion.

After getting rid of the tennis gambling scandal years ago, Davydenco is now a rising star, stepping firmly towards  his goal.
He is also the player that resembles  Andrew Agassi the most,
moving fast and  playing  solid baseline tennis.

3 p% ^* o) k& e. y9 l0 x: U Personally I do not like him, you can not find a flaw but there isnt any passion in his game. You should call him a robot, evertyhing is settled, programmed and manufactured. It is just a process, an iron  man on the court.
He is rigid, and plays an retrieveing style of  tennis that  is killing the sport.

But a winner is still a winner, whether you like him or not.

What a match!

That is the very spirits of the sport.
