Nadal upset by Davydenko at Qatar Open final

Published Jan 09, 2010

DOHA, Qatar(AP) Nikolay Davydenko of Russia saved two match points Saturday before rallying to beat Rafael Nadal 0-6, 7-6 (8), 6-4 to win the Qatar Open.

Davydenko's third straight victory over the second-ranked Spaniard improved his overall record to 5-4. The third-seeded Russian said he was surprised to win in Doha, Qatar.

It was a second consecutive title for Davydenko after winning the London World Tour Finals on Nov. 29. He also beat Nadal and Roger Federer in that event.

David Nalbandian of Argentina is the only other player to beat Federer and Nadal in the same tournament on two occasions - at the Madrid Masters and Paris Masters in 2007.
