The Russian won a  extraordinary 5-set match against the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco  last night.

# P" z* R8 `; J# ]5 k& ~Take 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,

2 S1 [. Q9 {* jBut a winner is still a winner, whether you like him or not.

Verdasco is playing the style I like the most, full of passion, and improvised  shots. This make tennis such an enjoyable sport to watch. I still remember the last year match between him and Nadal.
What a match!
Those guys play with their soul.
The Spaniards are either bulls or the bull fighters, they fight to the end.
