Munich will host an all-Russian first round showdown on Tuesday, as Nikolay Davydenko takes on Andrey Kuznetsov in the BMW Open. Davydenko is currently the world No. 40, and hasn’t quite been at his formidable best this year. He enters this week’s competition with an 8-9 season record, and will be aiming to make amends as quickly as possible. To add to this, he’s still searching for his first ATP World Tour title of the season.

Kuznetsov has a 2-2 season record, and appears to have a bright future ahead of him. This match provides him with a major opportunity to make a name for himself against one of the most talented players that Russia has ever produced. Kuznetsov has the odds stacked against him here, though he’s surely going to be in a spirited mood on Tuesday.

This will be the first meeting between Davydenko and Kuznetsov in ATP competition. It’s anticipated that Davydenko will see out this match in straight sets, though anything is possible at this early stage in the clay court stretch. Despite this, it still seems like Davydenko will have the upper hand here.
