#7 seed Davydenko ousted by Daniel Brands.
by bahamaderek on Jun.24, 2010, under Nicolay Davydenko
Nikolay Davydenko became the highest seed to crash out of the men’s singles at this year’s Wimbledon when he was beaten in four sets by Daniel Brands in the second round on Wednesday evening.
The seventh seed looked set for an easy ride against his 22-year-old German opponent when he won the opening set but Brands hit back to triumph 1-6, 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (10/8), 6-1.
The result does not come as a complete surprise, with Davydenko having missed
three months of the season with a wrist injury before returning to action at Halle a fortnight ago.
Brands, the world number 98, next faces Romanian 31st seed Victor Hanescu, who beat Turkey’s Marsel Ilhan 6-4 6-4 3-6 6-3.
