Russian Nikolai Davidenko won the main trophy at the tennis tournament in the Portuguese Estoril, whose prize fund is 525 thousand euros.
In the final mast, Davidenko was defeated by the Argentine to Argentine Agustino Galieri. The match, lasting 1 hour and 16 minutes, ended with a score of 6: 4.6: 3 in favor of the Russian. Thus, Davidenko has the second title this year. Earlier, in January of this year, a native of Severodonetsk won the tournament in Australian Adelaide, RIA Novosti reports.
On the way to the trophy in Portugal, the Russian beat Sieng Shalken from Holland, German Alexander Vaske, his compatriot Yevgeny Kafelnikov and in the semifinals - Belarusian Maxim Mirny.
Thus, small, but revenge on the Argentine tennis took place. Recall that Davidenko was part of the Russian national tennis team, which met with the Argentines in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup on Argentinean courts. Then Davidenko lost his meetings. And the Argentines did not have Calieri.
