Davydenko reaches Rotterdam semis despite scratchy start

Question

Nikolay Davydenko was a long way from his impressive best in the early stages of his quarter-final match against Jurgen Melzer in Rotterdam, but the second seed overcame a slow start to win the match 6-3, 6-2.

Answer 1

Better players than Melzer might have made the Russian pay for his early form during the match, but the Austrian was unable to capitalise on it.
