Almost unknown Frenchman Florent Serra ’stole’ the first set against Nikolay Davydenko, the player who has the best form in the Tour, but a couple of mistakes close to the end of the second, gave the Russian the chance to break and totally dominate from there on. The match ended 6-7, 6-4, 6-1.

David was able to finish what he started yesterday when he won the first set by 6-2 against Italian Potito Starace. It was a little bit harder today, as expected, but he managed to close the match in the second set’s tie-break. Nalbandian’s comeback to the Tour starts at the telmex Cup in Buenos aires.
