I remember this match. My man davydenko was feeling himself. He had beaten Federer, Nadal, del Porto, and Soderling to win the atp world finals the previous year. He was in the zone that week. I don't know what it was but he blew them off the court. The first time he beat federer convincingly, so that gave him some confidence. But, federer held on here and he started to lose confidence. His overall record against federer and that crack was all it took for federer to take back over.
When all of these guys have been confined to the history books, when future generations look at them the way we look at Laver and Rosewall now, I think Federer will still be remembered dearest, even though the numbers are no longer on his side, because he set an impossibly high bar for entertaining AND winning tennis at the same time.
Simplistic take. Davydenko is clearly not on the level of Alcaraz, Sinner or Medvedev. He completely collapsed mentally after this match and arguably during it.
@but1z two weaks earlier Davydenko won the final of Doha against Nadal who had two match points. And this 'weak era' player is 6-1 on hard court against Nadal.
@@incredibleXManNot those three, but probably, in around 2007-10 (this match, basically, was what finished him), Davydenko was head and shoulders above anyone currently outside of the Djokovic, Alcaraz, Sinner, Medvedev quartet.

Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal love you so much miss you so much teniss history best player ❤❤❤
GOAT
What an underrated player Davydenko was. These days he would be a player who would not come down from the top 5.. wrong era for him
В одном из интервью у Давыденко как то спросили: а с кем из большой тройки ему лично было наиболее сложно играть. С Федерером, конечно же. Ответил он.
Another “weak era” adversary who would mop the floor with undisciplined top 10 these days

@@Ben6164 possibly but if you have those players who are superior to him then I am not sure the point stands.
@@Ben6164Davydenko has never reached a GS final.
