So, here we are in Montreal (not literally):), where an amazing match is taking place at this very moment, Djokovic v.s Davidenko. Watching the game, it looks like someone, and by someone I mean Davidenko has been practicing a lot, while Djokovic was relaxing after becoming the world number one tennis racket. Well, I guess this match is going to be a reality check for Novak. It is like the story about the aunt and the grasshopper :). Currently, the result is 4:1 for Davidenko. The guy is on fire. He won 2 breaks, and looks very confident, like he was preparing all his life to win this match.  The 6th game just finished, with a break won by Novak Djokovic. It seems like he will be back on track. I guess he was expecting less from this match. But Davidenko is showing amazing psychic skills. He is “reading” every movement of Djokovic, so in the seventh game there was a point where he went after the ball even before Djokovic knew where he would hit it there. The 8-th game has finished with a result 4:4. Novak Djokovic is back in the game, but yeat again he is making some unforced errors, and on the other side, Nikolaj is fighting to win back this set. It is really one strange set. In one moment, the Serb is making mistakes that he must not do, and Davidenko is having the well known psychological condition called fear of success, and that is why he “gave away” 3 games . Now it is 5:4 for Davidenko, and he is again showing this unnecessary fear toward Djokovic. And here we go, it is 15:40 , and Davidenko just won a great point with an overhead. The game continues with deuce and advantage for Davidenko, and deuce again. Now Djokovic is having a break point, so he ties the result, 5:5, and just 13 minutes ago it was 4:1 for Davidenko. Amazing.  The weath

Today, Marcel Granollers won the Swiss Open in Gstaad. He managed to win over Fernando Verdasco in amazing three sets, 6-4,3-6,6-3. After Wimbledon, Granollers have had constant pains in his arm, so after that, he haven`t had any training at all. On Sunday he came at Gstaad, rested and ready to play, and amazingly he won the tournament. We noticed an improvement in his first serve which was one of the key factors that affected his game and his confidence during the game. The match wasn`t easy at all, because Verdasco is an amazing player. Although he is ranked better than Granollers, Verdasco did not win a tournament this year. Last time Granollers won an ATP tournament was back in 2008 in Houston. Congratulations on the new Swiss Open champion.
