--!>Nikolay Davydenko,fourth seed, has made it to the 2nd round of the French Open. He beat Sweden’s Thomas Johansson on Tuesday 6-3 6-3 6-3 and although rain had stopped play, it did not stop his fighting spirit. Davydenko looked amazing, in good shape, although he did require a rub down and strapping on his left thigh at the end of the 2nd set.
It was a classic tennis match from both parties and although it was great to see the Russian, Davydenko conquer, it was also sad to see the Johansson fail.
Davydenko will next face either fellow Russian and former world number one Marat Safin or qualifier Jean-Rene Lisnard.
