Seventh seed Nikolay Davydenko made a safe start to his BMW Open campaign by beating fellow countryman Andrey Kuznetsov 6-1, 7-6(4) in round one. Davydenko could be a major contender in this week’s competition, though he might have to face last year’s runner-up Marin Cilic if he gets past Julian Reister in round two. Cilic is the third seed and could give the Russian a stern test.

Reister might also be eyeing up the latter stages here. Whilst he’s undoubtedly the underdog against Davydenko, the German will be looking to impress the home crowd here in Munich. Reister earned his place in the second round by beating fellow countryman Daniel Brands earlier in the week. He might just prove to be a threat in this tournament.

This will be the first meeting between Davydenko and Reister in ATP World Tour competition. Davydenko seems likely to prevail, though it will be intriguing to see what Reister brings to the court. There’s a slight chance that the German will manage to cause a shock in front of the home crowd.
