The world number four lost 6-2 6-2 to Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in their third-round clash and was told by chair umpire Cedric Mourier to "try his best" after the official questioned why he was serving so many double-faults.

The Russian has endured a miserable time of late after being fined by the ATP for not giving his all in his loss to Marin Cilic in the St Petersburg Open.

Davydenko looked hopelessly out of sorts from the off against Baghdatis and struggled on serve in particular.

The matter came to a head in the second set when Mourier told Davydenko he had served "too many" double-faults.

He ended up with 10 and was broken five times in the match, which lasted just one hour and 13 minutes.

Later on Thursday, world number one Roger Federer suffered a surprising defeat in his third round match.

The top seed slipped to a 6-4 7-6 (7/3) loss at the hands of Argentina's David Nalbandian, who also beat him in the final of the Madrid Masters two weeks ago.
