The Suzanne Lenglen court. The first of their two almost identical four-set big matches of 2006 (the other one in the Davis Cup final). Nalbandian [6] trailed 1:3* in 1st and *1:2 (0/40) in 4th set. Generally he enjoyed very good day on his serve. In the opening game of the 4th set, Davydenko [4] won a point with a forehand drive-volley despite sending it out – the ball hit the left thigh of the running Argentinian!
