Bye Bye Rafa

So it's goodbye Rafa Nadal after he loses what turned out in the end to be a really good tennis match against Davydenko.

For a set and a half there was only one winner until Rafa dug deep into himself and started to find the kind of tennis he played about a year ago.

In fact, although he lost the second set and the match on a tie break my feeling was that if he could have won the breaker, he would have gone on to win the match.

So it's Djokovic next for Rafa while Davydenko faces up to Soderling (who is already through) to try and book a place in the semi finals of the Tennis Masters Cup 2009.
