Nikolay Davydenko cruises through to his eighth-quarter final of the season with a win over Juan Ignacio ChelaBet365 are streaming all of the action today live from the Valencia Open 500Juan Ignacio Chela is one of the few players on the ATP World Tour with a positive head-to-head record against Nikolay Davydenko, but he was unable to deny the Russian in round two of the Valencia Open 500. Davydenko wrapped up a 7-6, 6-2 victory over the Argentine today, improving his record against Chela to 2-6.
Davydenko is aiming to win back his place in the World’s top ten following a recent slide down the rankings. A three-month injury earlier in the year seriously hampered the Russian’s efforts, though he’s still managed to take part in seven quarter-finals this season prior to Valencia.
Davydenko’s ranking peaked at number three back in 2006, and he’s been one of the most recognisable players on the tour for many years now. His victory in last year’s ATP World Tour Finals further improved his reputation, though it seems unlikely that he’ll be able to challenge for his title this year due to his current position in the rankings.
