Looks like it.

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

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,

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.

What a match!
Those guys play with their soul.

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

That is the very spirits of the sport.
