In windy conditions at the Estadio Nacional, Nikolay Davydenko and Agustin
Calleri both progressed to their second ATP finals of the year after
contrasting victories at the Estoril Open on Saturday.
Calleri, a winner on clay earlier this year in Acapulco, took just 1 hour, 16
minutes to overcome fifth seed Tommy Robredo 6-4, 6-2, while Adelaide champion
Davydenko fought off a spirited comeback by Max Mirnyi to win 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 and
reach his first clay court final.
"It was very difficult out there, because it was unbelievably windy," said
Davydenko. "It was better for me because Max could not hit too many great
serves, so I had a lot of break chances on his second serve today. It's
normally very difficult to play against him because he has such a great serve
and volley game, but today the conditions were heavy and that definitely helped
me."
Davydenko, who has reached the final with victories over No. 3 seed Sjeng
Schalken, Alexander Waske, No. 6 seed and fellow countryman Yevgeny Kafelnikov
and now No. 7 seed Mirnyi, said he was delighted to be in Sunday's championship
decider.
"I'm very happy to be in my first clay court final," said the 21-year-old, who
broke his left wrist earlier in the year in Memphis. "It's a great achievement
for me after my injury, and now I will get back into the Top 50 and this will
help me get into the Tennis Masters Series tournaments."
Running
Looking ahead to the final against Calleri, Davydenko added: "It will be very
different than the match against Max. Today, I was just hitting two or three
balls in the rallies, while tomorrow I will have to run a lot and hit maybe
20, 30 balls from the baseline."
