Davydenko blog from Portschach
(Preview)
Only one entry so far, but it's notable for a pic of him trying on his father's glasses and looking about 80 (!) and for the revelation that the Philipp Davydenko who lost in QR1 at Portschach is his 15-year-old nephew and sometime hitting partner. http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/blog/davydenko.a...

Becomes only the tenth 15 year old to win a Tour main draw match in the history of tennis. The last person to do this was Nadal when he beat Ramon Delgado in Mallorca in 2002.
And a hell of a win this is, too. He has beaten Pablo Cuevas in straight sets, who's a fine player on slow surfaces.

Just watched the last set and a bit of Tsonga beating Youzhny in straights. 7-5 6-0 7-6(6) He is just so talented and a joy to watch. Reminds me of Murray in 05/06 He now plays Nadal and what a match it will be. So beating Murray was no big fluke...he has beaten Gasguet and now Youzhny. What bet he makes the fi...
