Wrist injury scuppers eighth seed Davydenko
LONDON, June 22 (Reuters) - Russian eighth seed Nikolay Davydenko retired injured from his second-round match against Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman at Wimbledon on Wednesday.
Right-hander Davydenko was leading 7-6 2-1 on Court Two when he decided to quit after receiving treatment on his right wrist.
The 24-year-old had reached the second round of the grasscourt grand slam for the first time.
Bjorkman, the 33-year-old ranked 97 in the world, will play either Frenchman Jean-Rene Lisnard or another Russian, Mikhail Youzhny, in round three.
