Metz QF: Davydenko bagels (!!) Karlovic 6-7(5) 7-6(6) 6-0

Well, a healthy Ivo getting bageled indoors, now I've seen it all.
Davydenko choked serving for the first set at *5-4, and having a 3-0 lead in the TB. He saved a match point in the second set TB at *5-6.

Not surprised, Davy and Hewitt will be both nightmare for big servers even in ten years.

lol

I don't think they'll be playing in 10 years.

:haha:

Russian Machine Never Breaks:cool:
way to go, Kolya! :clap2:

It was obvious exaggeration I guess :) still the point - great returner is always a threat for big-server, even being past his prime.

C'mon Davy I had a mini-heart attack when you tried that extreme forehand angle down match point !!! but that's why i prefer watching you i'm always on the edge of the seat !!!
How can somebody HATE him ? i understand ... emotionless and such things making him neutral to people but HATING him ? how ? why ? it's beyond me ...
P.S. KARLOVIC getting BAGELED ..... INDOORS ... while HEALTHY ...
i've SEEN IT ALL still can't taste it :music: (korn)

davy probably could have finished this in 2 but im glad he rebounded. A semi final here is huge for him

7-1 H2H with ivo now

Ivo was very close to winning it, had 5 breakpoints in 2nd set and also matchpoint. But once he was broken in 3rd, he folded like a cheap tent.

Bageling Dr. Ivo :worship:
Wtg, Davy :D

I think Ivo broke the strings at 5-5 or something like that in the second tie break. He had a very easy to put away FH but failed.

Well played on that MP :worship:
Hope he somehow beats JWT

You all hated him when he was in his prime.

Now Davydenko is near finished you kiss his ass.

Wonder how far Ivo's away from retirement, no sparkle and not really looking too motivated.

You all hated him when he was in his prime.

Now Davydenko is near finished you kiss his ass.

Except me cause i saw him for the first time in 2004 against Fed at the olympics 1rst round.
And i'm watching him constantly since 2005 AO...

good.

:lol: Bageled with that serve.

Good to see Davydenko is back in shape!

A clear mental lapse after failing to close it out in the 2nd.

You all hated him when he was in his prime.

Now Davydenko is near finished you kiss his ass.

i have been his fan all along

You all hated him when he was in his prime.

Now Davydenko is near finished you kiss his ass.

Baldenko is a clown. The only people who kiss his ass are Nadal haters. The guy was even worse top 5 player than Blake.

Denko warming up the oven for further future roastings. Keep those coals White hot :yeah:

poor effort from Ivo in the 3rd set... he just was not in the mood to fight after not clinching that match point in the second. sort of a sad match though, coming soon to the end of both of these fun players careers

Woot Kolya! :yeah:

Goat bp conversion from the good Dr..

gotta be up there with the greatest achievements in tennis

bageling ivo indoors

Nice win, Davy. I still haven't quite relinquished all hope for you.
