Davydenko out of Australian Open


World number five Nikolay Davydenko will miss this month's Australian Open because of a heel injury.

The Russian pulled out of his match against Lukas Dlouhy at the warm-up event in Chennai, India, on Wednesday after the problem flared up.

"It's obviously serious since I'll even miss the Australian Open," he said.

Davydenko reached the Masters Cup final in November, beating Andy Murray in the semis, and would have been among the favourites in Melbourne.

"I'm having acute pain in my left heel that flared up last week," the Russian added.

"I've had painkillers even today, and the doctors here in Chennai have tried some therapy for a few days, but I now need to fix this before playing any more tournaments.

"I need to check my heel and that's why I'm going home, to see what's happening and what's wrong.

"The problem started last year, but I thought I could still continue playing. It was (painful) even when I played the Shanghai Masters in November."

Unlucky :(

Hope he gets better soon.

Stupid schedule finally catching up with the donkey, never in doubt.

This sucks, and it feels like a surprise withdrawal out of nowhere. I wanted to go see him. I hope he recovers soon.

Hes Leading right now 2-1 Dlouhy ? :confused:

The SB has him playing Dlouhy right now. WTF? :confused:

Scoreboard must be wrong, it says in 4 Minutes its 6-1 :haha:

Hes Leading right now 2-1 Dlouhy ? :confused:

he up 6-1 on my scoreboad :confused:

first serve percentage for donkey after first set, 100% wtf :haha:

edit:scoreboard seems to be messed up

he up 6-1 on my scoreboad :confused:

It's a mistake, he is 2-2

Dlouhy w/o win is confirmed.

Why couldn't he retire in the first round to give us a Köllerer/Dlouhy match?

wat

huh? :confused:

real bummer if this is true

what disaster for Kolya :( :(

It's all over google news. Davy:hug:

Shame - hope he's better soon.

sucks for the guy. he had a real shot at the final on shanghai form.

Oh no, there will be tears on here later from Crazy Girl!!!!!!!!
Poor Davy, Poor CG, best have an ambulance on standby for her :sad::help::smooch::hug:

unlucky Kolya, get well soon !

Didn't know he was having problems with his heel. Hope he recovers soon.

Sad news

karma´s a bitch, eh fixer?

Bummer. I was hoping he'd go deep at the AO. :(

:sad: omg...

Poor CrazyGirl :hug:

Unfortunate

He will be back for the FO freshly rested to defend his title in miami and will win the FO while everyone is tired out :D

you will be missed

NOT

:sad:

Bet authorities didn't see that coming. He outsmarted them all. If he is not in the Australian Open, there is no way he can be a fixer, right?! I wonder how many folks bet on him not being in Australia?

Sad. :sad:

Is he Russian Orthodox?
If he is, it's Christmas, isn't it?

Hope he comes back soon. And yes, he WILL be missed!

always a shame to see one of the big names pull out of a Slam

No big loss. Davydenko doesn't perform well at slams anyway, he'll peak at Poertschach.

Shame.

Meanwhile, free points and money for everyone in Chennai!!

To think that this tournament gives as much points as Doha and Brisbane... The highest seed still standing there is Cilic, at number 27 in the world!

Good post;)

Nikolay very rarely has to pull out before the start of a GS, his heel must really be bothering him. Its no wonder his fans are hurting for him. Crazy Girl:hug::hug:

always a shame to see one of the big names pull out of a Slam

agreed

good news

agreed:sad::sad:Deck!!:sad::sad:

good newsAnother........clever!!! mmmmmhhhhhh too cleverHad you studied at Oxford??:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

whatever.
he said he was hurt last year and then would play the next week.
he probably was told to take a dive today as he was a monster favorite.
so instead of fixing he just withdrew.
thats what he does now.
no fixing.
just withdraw before match.
smart donkey this guy is

Oh no, there will be tears on here later from Crazy Girl!!!!!!!!
Poor Davy, Poor CG, best have an ambulance on standby for her :sad::help::smooch::hug:Reggieeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!Whe re are you??:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared: :scared: :scared:

:(

I like Davydenko. Hopefully he will be back soon after the AO

Bad news. I hope Davy gets better.

Had you studied at Oxford??:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm the King of Oxford and Jenni is the Queen :nerner: :nerner:

This is karma paying him back for his greediness, his nasty comments about other players and his dumb comments about small "meaningless" tournaments. Your Nikolay is not so innocent and good. :ras: :nerner:

:sad:

Shame.

This is karma paying him back for his greediness, his nasty comments about other players and his dumb comments about small "meaningless" tournaments. Your Nikolay is not so innocent and good. :ras: :nerner:Dear Tangerine (not ironic, believe me)I don't know all this things. I don't believe....I hope you're not right; but I rest on my idea: anyone his the right to stay in health......Niko, me, you, everybody... See tangerine, I'm not able to hate anyone.....hate is just loss time. I'm always ready to speak so.....friendly. Ciao from Florence.:)

OH NO! I'm shocked. Had no idea he had a problem with his heel.

This is obviously disappointing for many reasons. In terms of rankings, he only made the R16 last year and had points to gain. And I'm also waiting for him to win that first Grand Slam, and I imagine it would come on hard courts either in Melbourne or New York. This is a sad missed opportunity considering how well he played in Shanghai last fall and how open this AO field could be in 2009 with Fed, Nadal, and Djok all very beatable... still no GS QFs reached for Nikolay since USO '07, and that's so surprising.

Get better Nikolay, and I hope we can see you again soon.

No big loss. Davydenko doesn't perform well at slams anyway, he'll peak at Poertschach.

:rolleyes: Which is why he usually plays his best in New York at the US Open, right? :rolleyes: In 2007 before meeting Fed in the semis, Davydenko was breaking serve about 2/3 of the time in this tournament. That is an unheard of statistic. New York is not Poertscach.

Sad to see him pull out. Be ready for FO! :yeah:

Anyway, enough about Dav,:o more importantly, how are you Crazy Girl? :smooch::hug: No more tears please. It's not good for you :sad::D

I don't know that the tournament will miss the Russian. Davydenko is one of the most underrated players of the Open Era, but his best Slam performances seem to be behind him on 2008's evidence. That loss to Ljubicic at the French, from two sets up, was the pits.

Good ridance. Karma caught up with the Fixer. :yeah:

Karma caught with the Fixer. :yeah:

Change "karma" to "playing over 30 events a year" and then you'll be spot on

Good ridance. Karma caught with the Fixer. :yeah::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:

great news
finally this fixer is injured for real

Davydenko must not be happy with the exchange rate.

Anyway, enough about Dav,:o more importantly, how are you Crazy Girl? :smooch::hug: No more tears please. It's not good for you :sad::DDear reggie, now is already 11 p.m. and I'm very tired: above all I'm very tired to read all this shit. It's seems to me impossible to see how many imbeciles are in this forum. I was looking for you in the afternoon, but I haven't found you....:sad::sad::sad: Listen, reggie, but how come Niko is so categorical in that......after all there are so many days to Australian Open.....Can you help me? Do you know a little bit....than me?If I would have, always, an ironic way to say things, I should say......Achille's heel.....Ciao Reggie.....:sad::sad::sad::sad:

Crazy Girl :hug:

Sucks that Davydenko is out of the first Slam of the year. It's sad whenever a Seed has to withdraw. The heel must be really bothering him though. I didn't think it was anything serious.

All the best to him though.

No big loss. Davydenko doesn't perform well at slams anyway, he'll peak at Poertschach.

funny

Another........clever!!! mmmmmhhhhhh too cleverHad you studied at Oxford??:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Roddick has a slam and 3 finals, nuff said.

all ancient history

all ancient history
History will remember him as a performer at the slams. Watch get inducted into the Hall of ame whilst Davydenko will remain in the obscurity and enter the Hall of shame for his match fixing activities.

History won't remember Roddick at all. He's a part of the era when USA mens tennis was in the shithouse.
