[HL] Roger Federer vs. Nikolay Davydenko 2010 Australian Open [QF]

[lametown3]

Davydenko was killing Fed, and I remember in the second set he had a routine backhand that he missed, and that was that for him.

[MiniFats01]

This match represents the death of Davydenko as a top player. RIP.

[sasuke1467]

This video is quite saddening. Disappointed at how Federer played the first set, however, he's lucky that Davydenko wasn't able to get the double break in the 2nd set. This loss must've killed Davydenko, since he was literally killing Federer in the first set. D:

[foul01]

@sasuke1467

agreed. only problem i have with that comment is how you used "literally"

[hattrickster33]

Wow Davydenko is a MACHINE

[davd1986]

I'm not 100% sure if Davydenko would have won the match had he gone up a double break in the 2nd set, but the way he was playing and the way Federer wasn't playing, the odds were certainly in his favor. It still would have been tough with Tsonga in the semis and Murray in the final, but he's played those guys good in the past, so Davydenko could have had a realy good crack at winning his first major. He also had some other tough losses to Fed in the USO, here in AO a few years back, RG 2007...

[Sundin456]

Federer's backhand for once made me go 8====D~~~~~~

[Zoso666]

Wow, Federer sure sweated

[StevenCBlah]

@Zoso666 It's summer time in Australia when the Australian Open takes place.

[manco82]

@Zoso666 Davydenko really made him work for this one.

[TheRafaelBond]

2nd Set. Federer Serving at 1-3 and 0-30,NOW the Match changes,if Davydenko would have won that Servig Game,hed be ahead 2 Breaks like the Set before,and would have prob than won the Set 6-2. 2-0 Lead,would have won the Match,but Federer won that Serving Game,went on to win the Set,and as we know,changed Everything!

[niclassj]

Roger was playing ridiculously well in this tournament

[ownthelaws]

Strange match, only really late in the 4th set that both players were playing at a high level at the same time. Federer's class really shone but a bit sad thinking back now that this is Federer's last slam victory.

[Kiser153]

7:39 davy knocked the hat off the ballboy

[AceFuzion]

@Kiser153 lolol haha thanks for poiting that out

[AbuAc1]

[Harppuunamies]

@AbuAc1 13 games to be exact; from 2-6, 1-3 to 2-6, 6-3, 6-0, 2-0

[mechkapechka]

Davydenko i fell sorry for him :S

beaten from 6/2 3/1 30/0

God was against davy

[jomasterj]

This match ruined Davydenko's career.

[davd1986]

@jomasterj In terms of confidence, yea, but he was injured most of the year after that tournament, and just lost rhythm. Having said that, I think he deserves at least one slam.

[XxMaplerzxX]

@davd1986 i agree. he is the best current player without a slam - hands down

[ashram97]

@jomasterj why?

[manny1a2a3a]

@jomasterj im not so sure it ruined Davydenko's career but he hasn't been the same player since.

[mechkapechka]

@manny1a2a3a so.. it ruined his career :D

[TheRafaelBond]

@jomasterj

no it didnt?!!

[tlonsinkie]

@jomasterj And it saved Federers'

[ruaridh2k7]

@jomasterj Federer full stop ruined Davy's career. He got in his way at the USO in 06 and 07.

[jomasterj]

@ruaridh2k7 Federer has ruined many tennis players careers lol

[ruaridh2k7]

@jomasterj Roddick's especially Lol.

[jproxursoxoff]

I can't tell if you are kidding or not. But this match REALLY DID ruin Davydenko's career. My heart breaks for the guy. This is the one that never was.

[Fernandez218]

who is that woman in the purple at 9:36?

[Harppuunamies]

@Fernandez218 Davydenko's wife Irina, you can also see Davydenko's brother Eduard at 9:36.

[vofela23]

thanks for uploading.....

[KidAinaVeyron]

Did Davy choke in this match or did Fed just pick things up heaps in the second? It's hard to tell from the highlights cause you don't see the unforced errors.

[GyariSan]

@KidAinaVeyron Davydenko was outplaying him was up a set and a break but then Federer took a toilet break the momentum swung towards his way immediately. So he was a bit lucky. But Davydenko's game have lots of ups and downs so he's only got himself to blame.

[mechkapechka]

@KidAinaVeyron Davydenko choked ...

[TheVanopslagh]

i get a bonner when i see this quality!

[jproxursoxoff]

@TheVanopslagh Thanks for the laugh man!

[mjkded]

@TheVanopslagh the quality is good but the sound gets unsynced from the middle to end.

[Impulsensx]

Loved this match because Fed put Davydenko back in his place, as an also-ran.

[Jabenator]

This is amazing quality! Cheers mate ;)

[yellowblueskyfly]

good quality...yess
