A consistent performer on the tour, Davydenko is solid rather than spectacular. However, his game shows few weaknesses and an excellent 2006 season saw him capture five titles, including the Paris Masters Series, and climb to number three in the world. Many feel he lacks a big weapon to get him out of trouble against the true elite though. A foot injury sustained in the run-up to this tournament is another reason to warn off potential backers.
