Top seed Davydenko out of Sopot Open with foot injury(Reuters)
Updated: 2007-08-03 09:15 Top seed and defending champion Nikolay Davydenko bowed out of the Sopot Open on Thursday after retiring with a foot injury. Russian Davydenko conceded his second round match to Martin Vasallo Arguello with the Argentine ahead 2-6 6-3 2-1. "I couldn't run after first set so I decide to withdraw. I have to recover as soon as possible," Davydenko said. Vasallo Arguello plays Albert Montanes in the quarter-finals after the Spaniard overcame Mariano Zabaleta 4-6 6-3 7-5. Number two seed Tommy Robredo of Spain prevailed after a fierce battle with Belgian qualifier Steve Darcis, winning 1-6 6-0 6-5 to set up a meeting with Austrian Stefan Koubek. |
