ATP drops fine on Davydenko

“Following an extensive review of the match between Nikolay Davydenko and Martin Cilic that included a full video analysis, it was decided that Davydenko’s appeal should be upheld and the $2,000’ fine rescinded,” Gayle David Bradshaw, the ATP’s executive vice president for rules and competition, said in a statement. Davydenko has blamed his poor performance on exhaustion. With one of the heaviest annual schedules of any player, the 26-year-old Russian has said he plans to cut back next year because he feels his body is breaking down.
