Ferrero prepares for Roland Garros

Next week,one of the most important event of the tennis calendar will take place:Roland Garros,a place where Ferrero reached the final two times,on which one of them he won.

Now,everything has changed,Ferrero is down in the ranking,but this is the perfect place for him to return to where he should be,in the Top 20.We say that this is the perfect place because he doenst defend any point,which means that if he can get at least to the second round,he will won some points,which will make him go up in the ranking.

Last year,in Roland Garros,he played the tournament after coming from an injury.In the first match,we could see that he didnt recover from the injury as he had to withdraw from the match in the second set when he was playing against the brazilian Marcos Daniel.This injury was the one that didnt let him play in lots of months and which maked him go down in the ranking.

We hope that this year,JC gets a nice draw and that he can at least go to second round,so that he starts to go up in the ranking.

Ferrero in Estoril

Ferrero will play today his match of first round against a unknown player which has done this year some good results,kUKUSHKIN.He is now ranked 183 but he is climbing up in the ranking week by week.In theory,Ferrero should be ale to win it,but who knowa,each time he has an "easy" player,they do the match of their lives.The match will be more or less at 3:30 pm spanish hour (around 2:30 british hour) and as he plays in the second court,we can only see the matcho on live in the scoreboard of the ATP.

After loosing in Rome in the second round of the qualies against Zverev,who did a great tournament and reached quarter finals,Ferrero will play this week the Estoril 250 Open.

In Estoril,Juan Carlos needs to do a great result as he defends the points from Rome of last year (150 points),so he needs to reach as far as he can so that he doesnt loose so much points.

The draw for Juanqui is a little bit tough,although if he wins in second round he has a perfect draw.In first round he will play against a player form the qualy.In second round,he will probably play against Davydenko,second seeded,who is not doing great results in this season but who always is a very difficult opponent.Juan Carlos first match will be in tuesday,so he has one day more to train hard to play as best as he can this week.
