Analysis of Christophe Rochus,opponent of Ferrero in first round

Tommorrow Ferrero will play against C.Rochus,which is the seventh seeded player of the tournament.Although Christophe is 61 in the ranking,he has worst statistics than Ferrero in the Year-to-date results.His percentage of first serve is of 60 % (whilst Ferrero has a 67%).Another important fact is that Rochus ha s a 69 % on winning his serving games (whilst Ferrero has a great 78%),which shows us that if Ferrero has confidence and becomes a little bit agressive in his game,he will have lots of opportunities of having break options.

The belgian player has obtained some goods resulys this year (as he reached semifinals in Delray Beach and quarter finals in Memphis).However,he has a negative balance in winning matches this year (as he has won 6 and he has lost 8).This is beacuse he is normally a player that competes in Chellengers,s he should not be a difficult opponent for Ferrero.

The last time they played where in Valencia,long time ago in 2003,where Ferrero won him in the final by 6-2 6-4.

In conclusion,he should not be a great problem for Ferrero to win.As Rochus doesn´t have a great serve,Ferrero should have lots of chances of winning the match.In here you can see a video that shows how Christophe Rochus plays,and you can see his serve,his forehand and his backhand.Enjoy it.
