Fifth seed Nikolay Davydenko shrugged off his recent poor form to charge into the second round of the U.S. Open with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win over Israel's Dudi Sela on Wednesday.

The Russian has not won back-to-back matches since winning a low-key claycourt tournament in Warsaw in June but seemed to have found his groove to dispatch Sela.
The 27-year-old's only stutter was when he was broken while serving for the match at 5-2 up in the third set but quickly regained his focus to end his 76th-ranked opponent's challenge in the next game. Davydenko will take on Argentina's Agustin Calleri for a place in round three.
