" I! o. P! Q" \. V- \Will Nikolay Darvydenko follow Marat Safin to be the next Russian Australian Open Champion ?

! V4 G4 C8 [: e. b# @Looks like it.

The Russian won a  extraordinary 5-set match against the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco  last night.
8 E) [1 m, ~; `$ o5 ?1 F0 { For me,  his next quarter final match with Roger Federer  will decide who is this year's champion, it is the actual championship match.

# Y0 u, d, f6 u: Q2 u1 iTake 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.
% n) h. r( T4 _7 V: i' ZHe is also the player that resembles  Andrew Agassi the most,
moving fast and  playing  solid baseline tennis.

9 H" Q" @# n- k8 z8 |. [8 s 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.

* f7 _, ^# W% J. QVerdasco 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!

The Spaniards are either bulls or the bull fighters, they fight to the end.
! A+ |5 L  _7 p- HVerdasco lost  the match due to too many unforce errors and double faults.
! K7 M3 I' Z- {5 @But he still  fought all the way to the end, that is heroic.
That is the spirit  of tennis.
That is the very spirits of the sport.
