I'm no Paris Hilton, says low-key Russian Davydenko

MELBOURNE: A lesson for Melbourne locals: the little balding bloke sitting in the corner having dinner may be Nikolay Davydenko. Or it may not be.

That's precisely the level of anonymity the Russian dark horse for this year's Australian Open wants. "I am not Paris Hilton," the world No 6 said after he dismantled German qualifier Dieter Kindlmann 6-1, 6-0, 6-3 in the Australian Open first round yesterday.

"I don't want to be like that. I don't want to be like (Rafa) Nadal, (Roger) Federer. These guys I never see by breakfast. They stay in the room and take room service.
