Davydenko, Djokovic advance to final

Sports Digest

November 16, 2008

Nikolay reached the Masters Cup final in Shanghai, China, with a 7-5, 6-2 victory over Andy Murray, who seemed exhausted from his upset of Roger Federer a day earlier. "Murray was very tired," Davydenko said, adding that the Scotsman looked as if he were ready "to die." Davydenko will play for the title today against Novak Djokovic, who earlier rallied to oust France's Gilles Simon, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Now, Davydenko gets another opponent who is less than fresh - Djokovic needed nearly three hours to defeat Simon. Murray went all out against Federer even though he already had clinched a spot in the semifinals. He added that he gave 100 percent against Davydenko, but getting to bed at 2:30 a.m. after defeating Federer didn't leave much left in his tank. The final will be a rematch of a round-robin match this week, when Djokovic edged Davydenko in a 7-5 third set.
