    There's still concerns about his wrist.

    From another site:

    Davydenko had this to say after beating Greul:

    "After three months out, it was hard to come back. Training is nothing like matches, and I was so tired out there - my legs were so heavy. But after winning the tiebreak, I was less nervous and just got better and better. I am slowly getting my self-confidence back and I still hope to get back to the highest level."

    The Russian admitted he had been advised not to play in Halle since his wrist was not fully healed, but he did not want to be on the sidelines any longer.

    Davydenko: "I was not ready for Paris because I could still feel pain and it would have been hard to come back in a five-set match. I felt my recovery was going so slow so I decided to take a risk and come to Halle. It was my decision. I don't feel any pain anymore and, after training for four days, I feel my wrist is now holding."

    Davydenko sucks on grass too in general outside of Wimbledon.

    He sucks on any grass but now he hasn't played in a long time and is hungry for tennis and will most likely beat a player that is not near his level.

    I think Becker has a decent chance. Becker beat him in 2008 at Wimbledon and now Davy has the wrist issue...

    That Becker beat him in straight sets at Wimbledon once is enough for me to know Davydenko isn't better than him on this surface. And thinking that a Russian is hungry for anything but a payout is funny.
