John Isner vs Nikolay Davydenko match preview

The next ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament, which takes place in Miami, has started. John Isner as a seeded player enters Sony Ericsson Open (hard surface) in the second round to play against Nikolay Davydenko (ATP rankings #40).
Davydenko plays well on hard court, however he shows his best results on clay. He has a wide experience at this tournament and managed to get the trophy. John Isner has played four times at Sony Ericsson Open, each time he improved his result by one round, reaching round of 16 in 2011.
The head-to head statistics is 2-1 for Davydenko. The Russian player beat Isner twice in 2008, but it should be noted that Davydenko was in top-5. The next match they played in 2010, Nikolay Davydenko still had high ranking, but that time John Isner was able to win in straight sets.
In recent years Davydenko's ranking and overall performance have dramatically decreased, and his tennis form is not stable. Though it is known that John Isner likes to warm up during a match and can give one set, we think it's unlikely to happen and he will probably win 2-0.

Pick: John Isner 2-0
