Baghdatis v Davydenko: who will win in Rotterdam?

Question

It’s surely the match of the second round in Rotterdam. But who will win when the in-form Nikolay Davydenko takes on the resurgent Marcos Baghdatis today?

Answer 1

It’s hard to go past Davydenko on his current form, but Baghdatis has also started 2010 in some good form. Each has already claimed a title for 2010 – Davydenko in Doha and Baghdatis in Sydney – and we can expect the Cypriot to break back into the top 30 sometime soon. Baghdatis also has the 2-1 winning advantage in the pair’s head-to-head matches so it presents a real danger match for the Russian.
