Solid not spectacular, that's Davydenko. Consistently churns out the wins on the ATP Tour to maintain his high ranking but rarely captures the biggest prizes. Certainly he's yet to reach a Grand Slam final and the chances of that happening here are size-zero slim. The fact that Davydenko chose to 'prepare' for this event by playing on clay in Poland says it all about his hopes. Most likely to have sprung to the attention of casual tennis fans for being the subject of a probe into irregular betting patterns on one of his matches last year.
