Going to cover both of today's remaining round robin matches, briefly, in this post.
Firstly, I strongly favour Nadal to defeat Davydenko, the Spaniard has improved with every minute on court and certainly looks the fresher of the two.
Davydenko has played over 40 matches since Wimbledon, twice as many as his opponent and to be honest, it looks it.
The winner will meet Federer in the semi-finals and Nadal lives for these matches, he is the only player in the tournament that WANTS to play the number one and I think that is key motivation for today .
In the remaining tie, Blake meets Robredo in a "dead rubber", however, should Blake win today and go on to take the tournament, he will be unbeaten. This means that his prize money will be doubled, so $1.52m instead of $700k, in addition, there are extra ranking points up for grabs.
So, plenty of incentive for the American, who will be keen to get things finished quickly and conserve his energy for the battles ahead. Robredo's head is already on the plane home and some well earned vacation. Like Blake in two.
4 points Nadal to beat Davydenko 1.57 general
3 points Blake to win 2-0 sets 2.22 betfair
Back later with some football selections for tonight.
Good Luck.
