[節取俄羅斯部分] The upsets continued at the Estoril Open on Wednesday as third seed Sjeng Schalken suffered the same fate as top seeds Jiri Novak and Rainer Schuettler earlier in the week when he lost 6-3, 6-2 to Nikolay Davydenko in the first round. Meanwhile, last year's finalist Jarkko Nieminen also went out, losing in straight sets to Agustin Calleri in round two. Schalken's defeat means fourth seed Fernando Gonzalez remains the highest seed in the men's draw, and the Chilean moved impressively through to the quarterfinals after defeating good friend Jose Acasuso of Argentina 6-1, 6-3. "[Davydenko] played well and I played a terrible first clay court match," said Schalken. "It's a big change for me to go from hard courts to clay and you could see that today. I missed very many shots, which I usually don't do. I had practiced hard here and I will continue to practice hard. I will also try to go far in the doubles here. I'm sure I will play better in my next match, it can't go any worse." Wrist Davydenko, who broke his left wrist in Memphis in February and was expected to be out of action for up to two months, showed no signs of the injury en route to his victory over Schalken. "One doctor said I would be out for maybe two months, and said to think about coming back in May or June," said Davydenko. "I went five days without playing at all and then I tried to practice with just the forehand for three weeks, no backhands because I play with two hands. I played three days before Miami and now I've been playing two weeks with both hands on the backhand, so now it's no problem." The Russian, who represented his country in the Davis Cup loss to Argentina last weekend, now meets Germany's Alexander Waske in the second round. "For me, it was important to try and play better than I did in Davis Cup [in Argentina], and I have been playing better and better," said Davydenko. "I lost to Nalbandian in three sets but I played better against Gaudio. So I feel like I can still play better here and make an impression in this tournament." -- Davy傷好了啊，恭喜恭喜囉^^ 順便報一下，剛才三隻北極熊都過第二關了，八強賽裡有三隻北極熊耶(樂)～～可是都擠在同一區，換句話說，就是老卡先和Davy自相殘殺，如果MM也晉級的話，就要在四強時對打... 喵的，什麼籤表-____- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 61.225.195.81
