Looks like it.

The Russian won a  extraordinary 5-set match against the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco  last night.
+ H6 m  F+ X# ?  I0 u6 t4 E For me,  his next quarter final match with Roger Federer  will decide who is this year's champion, it is the actual championship match.

1 L! d6 L; B1 _, R1 n) x: fTake 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.

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.

' S. b" Y3 B# d  V, F& KVerdasco 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.

Verdasco lost  the match due to too many unforce errors and double faults.
