Djokovic, Davydenko fall in Rotterdam

Russian Mikhail Youzhny, the No. 6 seed, ousted Djokovic of Serbia, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (8-6) and will face third-seeded Swede Robin Soderling in Sunday's final. Soderling beat Davydenko, of Russia, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 in their semifinal match.

Soderling, the surprise runner-up at last year's French Open, has won his last eight sets after dropping the first set of his opening-round match.

Ranked eight in the world, Soderling will play for the Rotterdam title for the second time in his career, while Youzhny will be vying for his sixth career singles title in his 13th final appearance.

Soderling has matched up well against Youzhny, winning two straight against him.
