World No. 7 Nikolay Davidenko has ended Rafael Nadal’s chances of reaching the semi-finals of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals after defeating the Spaniard 6-1, 7-6(4) on Wednesday evening in Group B action at The O2 in south-east London.
The No. 2-ranked Nadal has lost both his opening matches in straight sets, also falling to Robin Soderling on Monday, meaning that even if he defeats Novak Djokovic on Friday his set win-loss percentage would not be strong enough to earn him second place in the group. It is the first time in three appearances at the season climax that Nadal has failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
“To be out of the [Finals], well, that’s sport and everything can happen,” said Nadal. “I didn’t arrive to this tournament with the full confidence that you need to win these matches. And in the moments that I had to play well, I didn’t play well. I made mistakes. I fought a lot. Both matches I fought. I tried my best all the time, but it wasn’t enough to win these matches.”
