Number 5 Russian Nikolay Davydenko defeated Austria’s Daniel Koellerer in the first round at the Chennai Open on Tuesday, January 6th. The final score was 6-2 6-3.

The match only lasted 72 minutes and was a great way for Davydenko to prepare for the Australian Open. He sealed the match with his eighth ace.

"He played some good drop shots, because I need to run and try and do something. He played very well this game," Davydenko said.

Swiss second seed Stanislas Wawrinka and Croatian Ivo Karlovic will play their first round matches later on Tuesday.
