Doha 1/2: Davydenko def Federer 6-4 6-4

Expected

oh god. I am so glad that arrogant guy lost. I was his fan last year but get real boy. the game has moved on.

Fed's backhand is a piece of shit...

Nicely played Davy

Davy has Federer's number big time..

On a more serious note, I thought Nikolay played quite well. Federer made too many UEs, but still you got to give credit to the solid display of Davy..

routine win against an unmotivated opponent

Fed was awful. Oh well, rest up for the Australian Open and work on that backhand. The commentator was saying something about Fed's wrist being injured, anyone know anything about this?

Never in doubt. Routine win.

oh god. I am so glad that arrogant guy lost. I was his fan last year but get real boy. the game has moved on.

two words for you
Glory Hunter!

Awesome by Davydenko :worship:

Fed looks like me out there.

Well deserved from Niko, he played brilliant. Roger - not so much.

It's sad to watch Fed and his agony on the court

Good for the game.

Fedmug avoids losing to Nadull once again and Donkey prevents Nadull from winning another title. :D

Well done Davy. Your head-to-head against this Fedmug should be much better but at least now you realize his mug game is not invincible.

Davy looking like the favorite for the AO at the moment.

No problemo, expected 2 set win for Davy, anyone going 3 sets with Gulbis is not in good form.

Fed was awful.
not really, but Davydenko played very well.

Kolya ripped Federer a new one :worship::angel:

Too many UEs. Just wasn't his night.

Go rest that wrist champ, and try to get it healed by AO :hug:

Congrats Denko :worship:

Good win Denko. Nice and easy, keep it up. Looking forward to the final, should be a lot more entertaining than the Fed-Nadal final all the Nadaltards wanted.

pussyfed, he is totally terrified at the thought of playing nadal........joke of a match........

oh god. I am so glad that arrogant guy lost. I was his fan last year but get real boy. the game has moved on.

Epic fanboy. I am sure Du Rand is in tears adds hearing about the loss of your support and love.

feds become a part time tennis player

Fed has no match-match consistency anymore, and arguably, no consistency in matches. He can crack 2-3 ridiculous FH winners to get break points, then shank 2 FHs and dump two second serve returns into the bottom of the net. '08 was bad, and '09 was worse... you can pick out the 3-5 matches of each year where he played consistently well throughout. Throughout an entire tournament? Maybe not even 1. Those trying to cling to JesusFed are hopeless. Those trying to claim the game has caught up in order to boost their own favorites are more hopeless.

Wrist injury? That must be it.

now win the AO you donkey

Fed was awful. Oh well, rest up for the Australian Open and work on that backhand. The commentator was saying something about Fed's wrist being injured, anyone know anything about this?

I will ask Federerer as soon as he calls me back :wavey:

Fed looks old, tired unmotivated and sluggish. He is looking like he is on his last legs.
Has Mirka already ordered a coffin ?

Denko on track to unturkey-ize himself against Federror.

what can you expect after barely beating gulbis :help:

Congrats Davydenko - well played!

Rogie's worst match since probably that 2008 FO F loss in straight sets. To lose 6-4 6-4 in like 80 minutes, I feel like Rogie has hit an all time low now.

Very happy for Kolya (100% first serve in the first set - bloody hell!), but I hope Roger would get his shit together double pronto.

Lol @ Federer on his last legs.

As much as Federer losing is hilarious, I really wanted a nice Fed-Nadal final to kick of 2010!

not really, but Davydenko played very well.

Davy played well and Fed's backhand was awful.

This is what Gulbis should have done...

two words for you
Glory Hunter!

No no. Don't get me wrong. I still like Fed. But when he says he is going to dominate, I mean lets be realistic. I am not a bigger fan of Nadal or whoever else just because it's 2010. No. It's just I wished Roger moved on at the top of his game. He still believes he is the best but his game is being figured out by more people as we speak. That doesn't mean he should retire. But It just turns me off that he still thinks he is so much better than others. I hope he continues winning. But I am realistic. Is that so wrong? BTW, I hate murray!

davydenko will never lose against federer again. Mark my words.

Fed has no match-match consistency anymore, and arguably, no consistency in matches. He can crack 2-3 ridiculous FH winners to get break points, then shank 2 FHs and dump two second serve returns into the bottom of the net.

:worship:

Finally somebody wrote something wisely

[/QUOTE]

Wow. Fed was really useless today. There's something wrong when you get anxious every time he's preparing to hit a normal backhand groundie. I hope he shapes up quite a bit come AO.

Davydenko... too big. Should be a good match tomorrow vs Nadull. Just make sure to win.

I will ask Federerer as soon as he calls me back :wavey:

Really? Thanks for your troubles. :wavey:

oh god. I am so glad that arrogant guy lost. I was his fan last year but get real boy. the game has moved on.

Vamos, fair-weather fanboys.

:sad:

I have strong feelings that Nadal will win DOHA 2010

Fed losing before the finals of a non GS event isn't a huge surprise.

Nadal has no chance tomorrow.

Well done Davy. Your head-to-head against this Fedmug should be much better but at least now you realize his mug game is not invincible.

Davy looking like the favorite for the AO at the moment.

he'd have to defeat rafito to in the final for that, not likely

saw the match and it was pretty bad, but congrats to davydenko, who served very well in the first and deserved the win.

If we look at Fed matches against big opponents since beginning 2008. It seems obvious to me that he is declining. I seriously worried right now, that the best of Fed's game is behind us and he will have avery hard time winning a Slam in 2010.

I maybe be too pessismistic but that is my viewpoint. Fed's past his peak and it will only get tougher for him from now on.

:spit: roger :retard: :o
2 in a row now :tape:

good thing he avoided another final beatdown

epic tank to avoid nadal...expected

this was said in 2008 and 2009

Kolya should now be cosider a major AO contendor.

Will davydenko take this form with him now?
Can he go on to win this tournament and even a gs this year?

this was said in 2008 and 2009

The great thing about such a prediction is that eventually it will come true. :D

this was said in 2008 and 2009

I know. But now I say it ;)
More and more players know how to exploit his game at the current shape. In my eyes it is getting more and more ordinairy.

Also he became a father not long ago and maybe he has a different set of priorities. And the cold weather probably hurt his back.

:haha: x 1000

Kolya should now be cosider a major AO contendor.

If he avoids Čilić in the draw :haha:

werent we saying the same about soderling last week after he beat roger too?

:p

Kolya should now be cosider a major AO contendor.He's been that since the WTF. :P

also humid weather might be a reason for recurrent mononucleosis

Davydenko... too big. Should be a good match tomorrow vs Nadull. Just make sure to win.

You still with the lameness. :wavey:Did you miss me? I missed you. :angel:

Anyway, it seems Roger didn't show up today, so this means nothing. It was sweet to see Rafa there. He was cheering on his good buddy. He must miss their epicness.

All according to Plan for Fed, he knows what he has to work on for the AO!!

as a fed fan, that's pretty clear to me. it was good while it lasted though as he managed to build amazing records. For that reason many Fed fans say that everything Federer does from now on is a bonus. The expectations are certainly lower than they were.

still, i'm sure that with a bit of luck (if the draw opens a bit and he manages to find his game a little bit) he might win another GS. It's certainly a real possibility, imo, but now it's far from being something that you know is going to happen. We're not in 2005 anymore.

Federer would have been crushed in the final anyway. Atleast Davydenko has more chances against Nadal tomorrow, hopefully Davydenko keeps this aggressive game tomorrow as well.

jm :sobbing:

:hug: 'n head up mate,it's not the end of the world.

bloody baster, Federina only wanted Rafa to lose yet another F to Denko tomorrow :rolleyes:

Fed just making sure he peaks at the right time.

also humid weather might be a reason for recurrent mononucleosis

haha,i love this man.

Not a good match from Federer. But Davydenko played really well and his serve was excellent today. And he also looked the more concentrated player tonight. I don't know. It bothers me that Federer looks like he doesn't care all that much. I could be wrong but it seems that he plays these tournaments because he has to. Not because he really cares about winning. But I could be wrong.

I hadn't thought of a tank to counteract Start da game's theory... namely that Nadal needs a match against Fed. Fed's really stepping up the mind games brilliantly. Even as injury and personal-life plague his on-court game, he begins to evolve again, one step ahead of the rest.

If Davy wins tomorrow, Fed is brilliant. If Davy loses, H2H still intact and Madrid loss still weighs heavy on Rafala's mind going into AO. :worship:

Kolya was on fire :bolt: :banana:

awesome display

LMAO about Fed on last legs comments, the guy made the last 7 GS finals, let's talk about that when he starts losing in the first rounds of them :retard:s

expected as hell, Fed hasn't been impressive lately and Davy is on fire, I pray and hope he will carry this form to AO and the rest of the slams, well done champ :yeah:

also humid weather might be a reason for recurrent mononucleosis

:lol:

classic

federer needs to worry about how he will qualify for the ao final and keep the top ranking, more players know the secret combination now and he's got a lot of points to defend this year ...

Great win for Davy!

And I'll tell you this; if Fed doesn't win the AO, THAT'S IT. NO MORE EXCUSES. No more tanking, no more "he's saving energy," NOTHING.

You guys don't understand that tennis motivation is mostly subconscious. When Fed says he tries his best, he means it because he actually tries as hard as he can. But subconsciously he can't find the energy or mental fortitude to win a 250 event. Last year he managed to channel that at all the right times, and this year will probably be similar, but don't let that stop people from crying that Fed is done and should retire.

Also if someone serves 100% first serves they are literally unbeatable at the top level of tennis. Nothing you can do there.

Great win for Davy!

And I'll tell you this; if Fed doesn't win the AO, THAT'S IT. NO MORE EXCUSES. No more tanking, no more "he's saving energy," NOTHING.

YOU MUST VISIT A DOCTOR

You don't understand... Fed is operating on a different plane now. Soon he will play only Casablanca each year (winning it) while Rafa goes 0-21 in the 21 events he enters. And that's just Rafa... imagine what he'll do to Djokovic... probably bankrupt the Serbian Open.

You still with the lameness. :wavey:Did you miss me? I missed you. :angel:Your avatar disgusts me. :)

:lol: Awesome if that was true. Personally I just think Federer accidentally flushed his backhand down the toilet and that's why he lost.

Well he should try and find the energy, because people don't buy the tickets to see less than 100% effort.

I'm surprised people are saying Federer is finished. Yes, his game has declined and has been sussed out by other players who have improved their own tennis, but Federer, consciously or not, has not cared too much about anything below grandslam level for some time now. Indeed, he doesn't really care much about the early rounds of slams as well, using them to tune up for their second week. I expect to see Federer well into the second week of the Australian Open.

pathetic Roger.Love you to fucking death but time to get a coach:shrug: I suggest Andre Agassi;even for a few months:yeah:

Federer's forehand is now a shanky, soft shit shot and his backhand remains what it was the last couple of years. His game was all about perfect timing and he doesn't have it anymore.

That said, in this era of tennis his shit displays are still enough to win slams and make finals, says it all really.

PMK is one of a few players I'd love to win the AO.

Now there is only 25% chance of Federer getting past AO Quarterfinals. Murray owns him big time, Davydenko ain't losing to him again and Soderling also got his number. Federer should be praying for a cake walk draw again getting Roddick in his quarter.

:lol: Federer wan not awful. He played what I would call an average match. Good in patches, bad in patches but for the most part was puhed around by an inspired Davydenko performance.

Well played Kolya, it's a shame people thing it had to be an awful performance from Federer for him to win because actually, the Russian was simply too good.

And that's just Rafa... imagine what he'll do to Djokovic... probably bankrupt the Serbian Open.

Well, that's just mean. No need to bring my other lovely, Novak into Roger's evil master plan. "The Battle For The Hearts And Minds Of All Of Tennis EVER" is uniquely Rafa/Roger. One Rafael well get back to keeping his half of the deal.

Your avatar disgust me.

Oh, I got a little thrill when I read that. I can't play tag with you on account of my crappy computer. And also, it's the last day of Apocalypse Week on the History Channel. No doubt you're disappointed.:kiss::ras:

Congrats Davy, too big. Fired on all cylinders in the beginning of the first set, just like at RG a couple of years ago. Fed didn't know what hit him. But this time Kolya kept his cool, well done.
It was at times a very good game, I thought, a few too many errors from Fed made the difference. I hate it when he, after he gets very close to break his opponent's serve but loses the game anyway, mails in a total disaster of a service game and gets broken. But he ain't getting any younger, so one has to accept it.

Davy looking like the favorite for the AO at the moment.

:spit: :haha:

pathetic Roger.Love you to fucking death but time to get a coach:shrug: I suggest Andre Agassi;even for a few months:yeah:

+1

I am not sure for Agassi but other :yeah:

If he wants more year or two on the top or near the top now It's the time to do something

it's a pity that all these fed lovers are under the impression that fed gave his best and lost.......where as in reality he was terrified of nadal and pussied out calmly from the tournament, bluffing all his clueless fans....... :haha:

He was terrified of nadal on the same way like GM is terrified of your posting

Kolya was the better player today, like he was in the WTF and that's why he won ;)
of course, it helped that FedError was in the house :rolleyes:

Let's see how the boys do in the AO but the form in which Roger is, concerns me a LOT

Davydenko won 6-4, 6-3

ETA: Read the score wrong. N/M.

Davydenko won 6-4, 6-3
Nope, Roger drew on his wisdom and experience to save that MP at 3-5.

Federer wimps out of a match with Nadal once again. GOAT? Maybe at manipulation to make his legacy better

Davydenko won 6-4, 6-3:retard:

Nope, Roger drew on his wisdom and experience to save that MP at 3-5.^^ This

Rogi is just lying in the weeds not showing his goat game until A.O.

Practicing.

This is just funny now :lol:

Of course. and when he loses early in Australia or gets slammed by Rafa, what is he practicing for? 2012 Olympics?

Oh, I got a little thrill when I read that. I can't play tag with you on account of my crappy computer. And also, it's the last day of Apocalypse Week on the History Channel. No doubt you're disappointed.:kiss::ras:Yeah yeah. It's always you who wants to fight, you know. :rolleyes: You started it this time, too. I just felt I had to express what I thought of your avatar but I really don't want to argue anymore. There is no point to it whatsoever since I don't care about your opinion and you don't need to care about mine. Why don't we agree that we'll ignore each other instead? :angel:

why do people keep saying all these guys have figured out roger's game or something? he is too fluid of a player to figure out. roger federer: if he plays near top form, then he will most likely win! rafa may be the one exception to this rule.

:cool:

Nope, Roger drew on his wisdom and experience to save that MP at 3-5.

Hmmm...for some reason, I thought it was 6-3 in the third. My bad.

Merciful this Rogelio :worship:

The Fed to give the Kolya roaster the pleasure :drool:

Kolya 1st serve % in 1st set - 100% !! Absolutely unimaginable! He hit 27 1st serves in a row !

Has something like that ever happend ?

federer needs to worry about how he will qualify for the ao final and keep the top ranking, more players know the secret combination now and he's got a lot of points to defend this year ...

There is no secret combination except for Rafa's heavy top spin to Fed's forehand (which is no secret really). Most of the time Federer loses because he didn't play well. If he is mentally dialed in, then his opponent has to play lights out tennis to beat him which has happened.

Of course. and when he loses early in Australia or gets slammed by Rafa, what is he practicing for? 2012 Olympics?

Of course, he will win the AO with his goat game. :) :) :)

And, it will be practice for 2012 Olympics and Davis Cup. :)

Denko was superb and Fed was pish, as we say here. shoulda really been 6-2 6-2 if you are honest.

Fed :lol: he can hit 2 behind the back return trick shots into court (fooling around when Denko faulted) yet on a 75mph 2nd serve he cant hit it within 10 feet of the court/over the net in the same game

that's what i call tank :devil:

blame the rafatards that fed doesn't want to play the dull one.

fed lacks confidence now so it's likely he tanked it so that nadal did not have a chance to get an edge on him in front of the 1st GS of 2010. fed is strategic. but nadal likley knows that fed lacks confidence right now, which boosts his own confidence.

Kolya :hug: Roger is really scared of that Tiger/Roger sex tape hitting the web :lol:

Well done Davy. Your head-to-head against this Fedmug should be much better but at least now you realize his mug game is not invincible.

Davy looking like the favorite for the AO at the moment.

What do you expect people? It's life: Federer is bound to have the world catch up to him at some point. Kudos to him that he pushed the tennis universe for 5+ years! To think it has taken until now for players to challenge him.

Man... what whiners... why slam a guy for losing and playing like a human rather than a robot?

That crazy... Federer would probably relish the chance to play Nadal right now since Nadal is still not fully recovered and up to where he once was.

Oh well... Aussie Open here we come. I expect a stronger Federer there... it's obvious that in the twilight of his career he is focussing on the GS's.

I haven't followed the match, but from what I have heard so far Kolya played very well and deserved the victory. Congrats to him :yeah:
He has been one of the most underestimated players in the last years and even though he never lost to Roger until last year they had some really close matches.

Yes! Well done, Nikolay! Finally some wins over Federer after years and years of choking against him. This is what I like to see.

:rolleyes:

Fed tanking on purpose to avoid Nadal. Nothing new.

Congrats Davy. Now go win the title and be a favorite for the AO.

Davydenko's playing real well. Tomorrow will be interesting. Glad Fed's out and I'll be able to enjoy it no matter which way it goes.

And just like that, the back to back wins puts Davydenko ahead of Roddick in the H2H ratio against Federer

honestly i expected this.

jm :sobbing:

:hug: 'n head up mate,it's not the end of the world.

Beg your pardon? Just connected from Cairo to see that... :rolleyes: :zzz:

Good post and he really can't play consistently well throughout a whole tournament.

Federer is just horrible to watch, I can't bear him anymore :sad:
Nikolay :D Take the title tomorrow!

go Kolya :rocker2:

oh god. I am so glad that arrogant guy lost. I was his fan last year but get real boy. the game has moved on.

:haha: you're quite funny in a sad way.

really the result was never in doubt. the thing that remains intresting is will fed be able to pick it up for the oz open. hes been able to lift his game for slams upto now, but this year theres just a sense that there are several players who can match and better it.

i hope davy keeps this form into the oz open, would be very frustrating if he bombed out erly.

hope he wins the final in doha.

Kolya 1st serve % in 1st set - 100% !! Absolutely unimaginable! He hit 27 1st serves in a row !

Has something like that ever happend ?

yes but only 185 KMH average if i recall correctly
just like day before with Ivo

i wonder will he use the same tactic against a returner like Rafa

congrats to Donkey good match overall kept his head cool when it counts

pussyfed, he is totally terrified at the thought of playing nadal........joke of a match........*

LOL the goat scare of that pussy sh*t nadal? nadal the loser from spain? losing to everyone easy matches?

You need to sop whatever you take now.

Smashing performace by Davy! Please, give some credit to the guy! He won the Master Series in London and now he is in the final of Doha. Best wishes for the final (inspite of he is not one of the players I appreciate the most...)

Well done to Davy.

Until someone proves they can do this to Federer at the slams, though, it's just same old same old.

No shame in losing to the best player of the last 3 1/2 months.

Result that I expected.

Well done Nicolai. :yeah:

Davydenko for the title.

It is a bit funny how Fed lost 2 chances to spank Nadal this year already. Nadal is actually playing well. He'll go far before Del Po or Novak take him out at AO.

I just watched highlights and found it interesting that Nadal was in the audience.

Roger :awww:

Davydenko played well, congratulations. :)

novak has no chance when rafito in this form, and del potro not good on ao surface ...

Not unexpected. What is surprising is that Rogi is still playing tennis at all. I don't want to see him slapped around by the likes of Davy :eek:

novak has no chance when rafito in this form, and del potro not good on ao surface ...

He may do okay on Blue clay..its slower than Pillip Shit Raer where Pol Potro took Federer to 5 sets in Paris.

Kolya 1st serve % in 1st set - 100% !! Absolutely unimaginable! He hit 27 1st serves in a row !

Has something like that ever happend ?

I've just read that as well..incredible :eek:

Fucking hell Roger, maybe you should start looking at a few tapes of TMC 2007 on how to beat your soon-to-be-former pigeon eh? And get a goddamn coach while you're at it! And he does care about winning these smaller tourneys. He cares a lot. If you see his face after he loses a match, it's not about being a sore loser, he just absolutely hates it.

Come on Davy, save the tourney by thrashing the asspicker tmr!

What is surprising is that Rogi is still playing tennis at all.

Oh yes, he truly sucks. Ranked #1 in the world, lost to a player in the top 10 :sad: It's indeed time to retire immediately.
Wonder what 99% of the other players on the tour should do then...

Sometimes one really wonders if people have followed tennis at all before. It's natural to lose in sports, not being able to keep up a certain level.

Roger could have retired after he won in Wimbledon last year and broke Pete's GS record, but he still has the passion and the game, even though he can't play consistantly as he did in previous years.

You either accept the natural development Roger's career is taking now or maybe it's time then to support another player.


I don't want to see him slapped around by the likes of Davy :eek:

Why it is a shame when Roger loses to a player like Davydenko? Kolya has the ability to trouble each player. He had close matches to Roger in the past, where he sometimes didn't used his chances.

You either accept the natural development Roger's career is taking now or maybe it's time then to support another player

well said, this would be an appropriate time for all glory hunters and bandwagoners (the likes of Cyrusking) to stay away from Fed and move on to the new bandwagon, but I suppose that's not clearly shaped yet so this process will take more time.

Loving all the davydenko new fans :D

Pity I didn't watch it. Nice to see Kolya finally emerges from being Federer's sheep :yeah: Beating Fed not once but twice after losing 12 straight times :yeah:

Federer :unsure: He's starting to have big wobbles in his form for non-slam tournaments

I like your sig.

I already know that, your sig is based on mine :rolleyes:

I'll root for Fed even if he didn't win a single match for the rest of his career :ras:

oh god. I am so glad that arrogant guy lost. I was his fan last year but get real boy. the game has moved on.

LOL FEDSTER should just smirk and say 'I enjoy playing Nik, not 'cause I only lost in an exhibition. I win everywhere in REAL matches!' Goodness, he loves saying things like that.

Always nice to see Ego King lose. :yeah:
But more nice to see Davy win! :rocker2:

Davydenko seems to have finally become a man.

Congrats on beating the Ego King and even matching the Spartan King.
