Fantastic Nikolay does it again!

Congrats to veteran Russian slugger Nikolay Davydenko as he pulls off what only one other man (that is David Nalbandian) has ever done before – beat Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in back to back tournaments. His win today at Doha in the Qatar Open over Rafa in the finals (beating Fed in the semis, same point at which he took out Fed during last year’s season ending championships in London), now means he has beaten Rafa 3 straight times in a row and leads their head to head 5-4 – very impressive stuff. I’ve always liked the Russian’s no-nonsense workman-like approach and dedication to the game, and man oh man, when he is on, Davydenko can hit angles like no other.
