Nikolay Davydenko is the 6th ranked player in the ATP World Rankings. Davydenko has enjoyed an exciting start to the season so far. Part of the excitement of his great start is due to the caliber of players he has beaten already on the year.

Davydenko has beaten Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on the season. These two players have been at the top of the tennis world for years, and Davydenko has already demonstrated this year that he can beat them. Davydenko’s victories over Federer and Nadal actually took place in the same tournament. This was the 2nd time that Davydenko had accomplished the feat of beating these two stars in the same tournament. He is only the 2nd player in the world to beat those two players in the same tournament two different times.

With his strong start Davydenko has put himself in a position to advance in the world rankings. He currently sits just 400 points behind Juan Martin Del Potro.

Davydenko has already won a tournament this year and appears to be poised to continue winning. Last year Davydenko won 5 tournaments. This total was more than the two previous years combined. It appears that Davydenko is improving even though he is far into his career.

The best ranking that Davydenko has ever achieved was 3rd in the world. He achieved that ranking in 2006. With continued success this year, Davydenko has the potential to move back into the top 3 players in the world. There are a lot of great tennis players out there, but Davydenko has been great so far this season.
