Nikolay Davydenko is due for arrival in the Gulf at mid-week rested and refreshed from his Maldive island holiday and ready to start this 2010 season at the Capitala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.
The Russian will compete beginning at the second edition of the special event in a six-man field headed by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
That top pairing will have a lighter workload the the three-day showcase, with the Nos. 1 and 2 awaiting semi-final opponents from the four other contenders in the field - Swiss Stan Wawrinka, 2008 Australian Open finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, French Open finalist Robin Soderling and Davydenko.
"After some time out I feel pretty refreshed and am now very much looking forward to getting back on the court again and returning to the form I showed towards the end of the season,” said the Russian, who lost the Abu Dhabi semifinal to Nadal a year ago.
In 2009, the 28-year-old captured five ATP World Tour titles in a season for second time in his career (2006), capped by winning his biggest career title in London just over a month ago.
Davydenko faces Tsonga on New Year's eve in the emirate while Wawrinka plays Soderling in the afternoon's second match.
