"I would say if I would like to be famous I need to win tournaments here and to play very good tennis and to beat the No 1 and No 2 in the world. Then I would have more fans."

Davydenko has reached four Grand Slam semifinals - at the 2005 and 2007 French Open plus the 2006 and 2007 US Opens - and also won a Masters Series event at Paris in 2006.

The Russian finally secured his first win in three matches against Nadal on Sunday to win his 12th career title in Miami.

However, he trails Swiss world No 1 Roger Federer 11-0 in career meetings and has a 1-0 record over Serbian world No 3 Novak Djokovic.

But in Davydenko's mind, being the fourth best in the world and not a marquee name can be an advantage.

"I didn't play on center court at the beginning of the tournament because we have here (Andy) Roddick, (James) Blake, Americans because we're in America, and Federer, Nadal, Djokovic," he said.

"It's good. For the beginning of the tournament I don't want to play on center court."
