Davydenko-Blake match suspended, Montanes rolls in Estoril

Tennis Betting Lines

05/09/2009 - Estoril, Portugal (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three-time finalist Nikolay Davydenko and fourth-seeded American James Blake had their match suspended due to darkness, but seventh-seeded Spaniard Albert Montanes made short work of Chilean Paul Capdeville Saturday in the semifinals at the $595,000 clay-court Estoril Open.

The second-seeded Davydenko, who titled here in 2003, lost to the great Roger Federer in last year's finale and also came up short in the 2006 final, beat Blake 7-6 (7-3) in the first set and was trailing 4-2 in the second set before the stoppage at National Stadium.

Davydenko moved to the semis with a 6-4, 6-3 handling of sixth-seeded American Mardy Fish on Friday at this French Open tune-up. Blake drove past eighth-seeded Frenchman Florent Serra 6-4, 6-1 to meet Davydenko.

Blake is a flawless 6-0 lifetime against the world No. 11 Russian star -- all six of those victories have come on hardcourts, though.

Meanwhile, Montanes cruised past Capdeville 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the finals. Montanes, who upended top seed and world No. 8 Gilles Simon 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) to get to the semis, will, of course, face the winner of the Davydenko- Blake match in the finals. Capdeville overcame Spaniard Oscar Hernandez 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 to make it to the semis.

Davydenko and Blake will resume their match on Sunday. The winner will then play Montanes in the final, also on Sunday.

The 2009 Estoril champ will collect $96,000.
