Blake vs. Davydenko, Cincy Semi

[tennis_hand]

why davydenko can't beat Blake? what is good about Blake when he plays against Davy?

 

[slice bh compliment]

yes

Davy hit a decent serve to get in control of the point, Blake blocked it back short, Davy hit a topspin forehand approach shot into the deep corner on the forehand side of Blake's court

Blake sprint to his right, stretched out fully, and SLAPPED - yes SLAPPED - a lighting fast crosscourt passing shot out of range of Davy but well inside the sideline

Yeah, that was some winner he nailed at the end....hahahaha, definitely the word for it is a ''SLAP''.

And on the replay you could practically count the revs per second of pure sidespin.

Flat hitting and total agression. Davydenko can't set up his game nor take the ball early. He is moved around the court and demolished if Blake is on. The public is another factor. Could be another story on a clay court. Nadal himself can't defend properly when Blake plays the best of his explosive style. They need TIME. Blake does not give them any.
