Dissecting Davydenko: The Quest for Luck

I have really missed Nikolay Davydenko.

Davydenko, or Kolya as he is known by fans and friends, has always been one of the most underrated players and personalities on tour.  He's a quiet and quirky workhorse with a deceptively tricky game who seemed to be constantly overshadowed by bigger guys, bigger games, and bigger personalities.

Isner and Monfils Hug It Out

The Gael Monfils/John Isner battle last night was an absolute classic.  Despite three rain delays (four warmups), muggy conditions, and a 1:15AM finish time, the match was high quality from beginning to end.  An enthusiastic crowd stayed for the duration and cheered hard for both guys.  But the most impressive thing about the match was the sportsmanship.  These guys bring out the best in each other and the moment at the net was surely one to remember.  THEY PUT DOWN THEIR RACKETS TO HUG.  Too sweet. 

They also both came to press afterwards, and you can check out their great pressers here.
