Nikolay Davydenko has won his first ATP title this year after breezing past Paul Henri-Mathieu 6-4 6-2 in the German Open final.

The second-seeded Russian won five break points as he made light work of Mathieu, who was seeded 13th.

Prior to today, Davydenko had not won a title in over a year, when he triumphed in Warsaw in June 2008. He was hampered through the first several months of 2009 by a heel injury suffered in his first tournament of the year in Chennai.
