ATP World Tour Finals 2009: Nikolay Davydenko outlasts Roger Federer
Russian Nikolay Davydenko outlasted top-ranked Roger Federer in a three set thriller at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Saturday to reach the season-ending tournament final for the second straight year. It also marked the end of Davydenko’s 12-match losing streak against the Swiss star.
It seemed like Federer was headed for victory in the third set when he was just two points from the win when he led at 5-5 and 0-30 on Davydenko’s serve. However, the world number seven held on to his nerves to eventually break the Swiss star’s defense and record a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 victory.
