Davydenko Wins Dubai Opener Despite Sore Wrist

Feb. 23 -- Nikolay Davydenko defeated Florent Serra 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1 Tuesday despite a sore left wrist. The fourth-seeded Davydenko was a set and two break points down at 4-4 in the second. But he saved both and won eight successive points to force a deciding set.

Davydenko had 11 aces and saved all eight break points he faced from Serra. He said his wrist was still hurting after a fall during the Rotterdam semifinals two weeks.

Fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga advanced when Michael Llodra retired from the all-French match after dropping the first set 7-6 (9).

Both players were battling illness, and Tsonga said he nearly withdrew before Llodra pulled out.

Also moving into the second round was sixth-seeded Marin Cilic, who defeated Arnaud Clement 6-2, 6-4. Other winners included Tommy Robredo, Janko Tipsarevic, Bjorn Phau and Michael Berrer and Somdev Devvarman.
