Hahaha, that's amazing. Do you think it will have the same effect as those static ball things?

As far as tennis goes this is the best moment of the year for me along with Fed winning FO.

Likewise! I predicted a straight set victory for Juan MDP. Anyways, happy times for Davydenko's fans, if there are any
Yes they are,I have been a fan of his for around 5 years now.
Yes it was a long time coming. I'd hate for Kolya to waste his first victory against Federer. He delivered when it really mattered. On the biggest of stages. Davydenko at his absolute best. His wife will be pleased.

Since Murray is playing Hopman Cup before the AO he can't defend his 250 points thus being 5 points behind JMDP for the AO seeding.
JMDP's Auckland points fall off after the seeds are made.

Davy took Nole's title and the hair that comes with it.
LOL, good one! ROFL!!!!
Yeah I can def see him getting to #4 in the world by Wimbledon if Andy Murray falters.

I'm really happy for Davydenko! After all these years being just behind the top 4 this is a well deserved win. 
What a comback from him after injury took him out most of the first half of this season.
He has practically nothing to defend till clay season. Top 5 is possible early next year. Keep it up!

I think he has only something like 60-70 points to defend for the first part of the season,he can pick a lot of points if he has a good start of the 2010.

Congrats to davy for his "Grand Slam" victory(beat AO champ,RG-WB champ and USO champ),it is well deserved,he played some brilliant tennis this week.
Seeing the varying levels of WTF matches(last year it was mostly crap,this year it was ok),got me thinking: why not push AO a bit further on in the calendar and have WTF as the first event in the new season,when everybody is rested,healed up and such? And before you say that I am only saying this to benefit Rafa,look at how tired some of the players who arrive here are. Last year,Roger had problems with his back if I remember correctly,Nadal missed out,this year a lot of these guys looked tired to me,Novak really seemed spent,DelPo could barely move his feet in this final and so on.Also murray just came off a injury brek,roddick missed out and so on.
Perhaps it is just me but I would like the tournament which has the best 8 players in the world to take place in the best starting conditions possible. Look at the consistently good level of tennis shown in the first slam of year,AO,where the player are really hungry so to speak and mostly healthy as well. By the time WTF comes around,most of them are thinking about the vacation ahead and tending to their wounds instead of playing their best tennis. This WTF however,was somewhat of a exception,it had some great matches and dare I say,the stars of this WTF were for me,Davydenko and Soderling,and these guys aren't even in the top 5 and only have one slam final between them.
Anyway I love the way this sounds: "Ladies and gentleman, the champion of the champions in 2009 is......Nikolay Davydenkoooo...".
I hope Davydenko doesn't finish his career slamless.

This is the best thing that could have happened. Davydenko finally won something big now lets just hope he has a grand slam in him before his careers over.

Well there is also Del Potro to consider. He might be harder to pass than Murray as Murray seems to be stagnant for the moment.

Totally agree (& can relate). Excellent job by Davy, running through top men (I believe Del Potro is next dominant #1 in near future, if he can improve stamina & agility). Does anyone see Soderling breaking through to approach top 5?

After this event it feels almost like the top 7, 8, even 9 players are almost equal right now. Next year will be exciting, especialy going in.
Your posts are just about equal to 10 mg of Ambien.

Looking for Monfils to join that group. State of Tennis is fine; very competitive & playing at high levels. I don't care if no Americans are prominent, Game is better now.

The top 10 is going to get crowded soon. I think Cilic and Monfils both have a good chance to be there. Of the current top 10 I see Roddick, Verdasco, and Tsonga the most vurnerable to fall out and be replaced.

I'd much rather see Cilic than Monfils there ,to be honest :lol:
I dont think Roddick will fall out though..his biggest advantage is that he is overall consistent.
Verdasco and Tsonga-maybe.

Roddick is done on all surfaces except grass. Just look at his results since Wimbledon. He isnt consistent anymore.

Yes definantly, I thought about Cilic, but I feel Monfils has the physical, if he can improve the technical. Cilic is younger, so yeah, wouldn't be surprised to see Cilic up there.

Del Potro on his match with Denko.
“He's very strong,” complimented del Potro. “I never beat him on hard court or indoors. He's very fast. He plays like PlayStation. He runs down everything. It is very difficult to hit winners [against him]. But I think he is a great champion. Nobody knows how we can beat him.”
