Sony Ericsson Open 2008 - Men's Final Highlights

[christophthepope]

I miss pre-2010 Davydenko



[mechkapechka]

If only he could play like this today... i'm talking about Davydenko the greatest

[VerdascoFan]

This match shows how much Nadal has improved his serve since then. He's just spinning it in in this match. AT the US Open he was hitting 130+ mph ones. Very impressive.

[kojiro99999]

i think Nadal looks stronger when he wears sleeveless. but when he wears like a regular tshirt, boy he looks pretty thin

[IvanAndreevich]

And now he won Shanghai beating Nadal once again :)

[Satch6strings]

thank god that he finally win a tournament today

[Satch6strings]

davydenko...

what happened??

[tenniswh0re]

hes supposedly injured? soo give him soem time.. hes one of my favorites

[Arthurc94]

you guys are all wrong

China is the country where the best rice is made

[imnew2]

ew no please... i stay with my colombian rice if you offer me chinese rice -.-

[KRodfadesaway427]

but tennis looks cooler than going around in circles making how many left turns? if I wanna drive fast I go straight and drift around left and RIGHT corners not go around some stupid track.

[HenzoLorenzo]

NicoIXIX you really are an idiot. Motorsport takes no physical ability at all! you cant compare it with tennis

formula one drivers can continue with injuries because they dont have to do anything physical to win.

[Cranaxas2]

clearly you're an idiot formula one drivers experinece up to 5 g's per race on their upper body and legs which creates the same muscle strain as running solidly for over 3 hours, why do think they all look so fit and no they cant with injuries because the strain of turning the steering wheel under 5 g's with a wrist injury can be enough to rip the tendons in your hand whilst tennis players to have to worry about swinging a 10kg racket

[THES0L0IST]

Are you an idiot? Have you played tennis in your life? Not that dinking shit where you tap that ball over. These guys are hitting the fucking ball in rallies 80-100 MPH and serves at even higher speeds. Tennis and racing are uncomparable. Sure, racers can't be a fatass sitting behind a wheel, but I seriously doubt that any of them are as flexible, strong and athletic as other sports, especially tennis players, are.  Not to mention, I doubt their endurance ability. Tennis = greatest sport.

[porsche944]

LOL clearly you haven't raced 40 laps going as fast as they do... I'll admit, perhaps it isn't AS physical as other sports but it IS gruelling and tests your mental AND physical endurance.

[morleyskyecp]

40 laps takes about 15-20 minutes. Tennis can take up to 5 hours or more.

[acetennischick]

Davydenko's got the brains, Nadal's got the body

[azncloudstrife33]

nah i couldnt see it on tv either itws the court's color not the wuality

[albertjamesblack]

You can't even see the ball most of the time - poor quality youtube

[typicay]

well done to davydenko, totally deserved it!!

[hattrickster33]

@typicay yea of all the people in the top 10 I think he works the hardest to stay there

[Somar21]

Para Bonadeo que decia hace dos años que Davydenko en 4 meses no es mas top ten..Toma gordo choto

[powiss]

Good game. I play this game on SE k810i .. :)

[boxingfan786]

me 2

[johnmartos]

The match was one of the best games I'd ever seen...It was a very inspiring match...The Russian was comlpetely an underdog compared to that of media-frenzied Spaniard...not to mention the betting scandals that hounded Davydenko late last year, but that was completely overrun by him..and still he showed us..that the ball is round...all is fair and square..in the game called Tennis...way to go Davydenko!!!!!

[IricForset]

Meh everyone who thinks Davydenko was an undergog doesnt know how bland Nadal's hardcourt game is.

[dowling1981]

Iric - why do you attack them to fall?

[IricForset]

what?  Sorry was my comment hurtful?

[dowling1981]

Iric - Hurt is as hurt does. Can you change?

[keirebu]

Nada is a clay court man in reality

[dowling1981]

keire - Why do you say these things?

[NicolXIX]

F1 drivers can suffer injuries and broken bones, concussion, be set on fire, etc...

and still keep on driving.

Whereas tennis players with injuries can't keep up, like that russian top 10 female player that's now a soccer TV host(!) just because she injured her foot, or the girl that was stabbed in the back in the 90's and quit.

IMHO the UNDERpaid sport professionals are those of the mental sports like chess, card games and certain video games.

[benwilliams2008]

Great injury comparison + Good point about mental games.

[jonaloin]

the girl who got stabbed in the back was monica seles. and yes she took time off the tour for about 2 years but that was not because of her physical injury but because she was emotionally scarred. she was a girl, 19, and i guess she might be afraid to return to the courts in case something like that happened again. but she DID come back and won another Grand Slam title. and only just recently retired. Seles is such a legend in tennis. I don't think you can say she's a quitter.

[killy731]

ok sorry, I didn't know Seles came back and won a grand slam, I should have checked.

[jnicholsgotalknetau]

its good to see davidanko beating these low ranked players ..so now he can look ahead to the likes of hewitt and fish safin and graskim bolepoli...

[bishtsudhir]

Thats right, but Putin has the tendency at times not to play to his ability, thats why in the past even match-referee pointed that to him in between the play, and some investigation is also still going on.

[jnicholsgotalknetau]

YES!!!!YES!!!! i got a stone!

[CrimpCrimp]

people who say tennis players are overpaid you have obviously never tried to play tennis because if u did you would realise the amount of work it takes to become as good as nadal or davydenko

[Liam0125]

I Thought This Was SOny Ericsson Tennis YOu Get On Your Phone I Was Gonna Say How Sad Can You Get :o Lmao

[commentkid69]

The comments on overpaying athletes here are pathetic. Especially the F1...boxers don't actually recieve enough credit...tennis players are not overpaid...

[benwilliams2008]

all sportsmen are overpaid. the only ones who deserve a lot of money are F1 drivers but still not as much as they get.

[1235Nacho12345]

why do F1 drivers deserve it?

[benwilliams2008]

out of all the sports, F1 has the least proffessionals, 22 (at a time)

[1235Nacho12345]

fair enough it must be hard to make it then in F1 and you'd have to be tough mentally to race for so long! but tennis is really comptetitive, not to mention the work you have to put in on developing your game and fitness too, plus in tennis you might have to play a 5 hour match in searing heat then play again two days later! i think they deserve the pay as much as any sport

[Phoenix8090]

why do they need alot of money to drive cars around in a circle?

[shavenstringer]

Boxers get 10 times that just to stand there and beat their brains out.

[Jarad2007]

They gotta be good to get that amount of money

[raduzaxx]

try to hit ball like them

[koimaster]

$590,000 dollars for hitting a ball over a net?

[xedvux]

Golfers get 2 times more LOL...
