Ferrero wins a difficult match against Youzhny and will play against Santoro

Yesterday,Ferrero showed all his quality in a very equalized match against the rusian Youzhny by 6-3 7-6 6-3.This is a very important win as this makes Ferrero have a nice draw which will probably let him go far away in the draw,making him gain more points and therefore improve his ranking.Also,as he is now in the second round of Wimbledon,if he losses next match (where he will play against Santoro),he will not loose positions in the ranking as last year he reached the second round.His next obstacle will be the frenchman Santoro,which he played against in Australia in the beggining of the yaer,but JC was in different conditions,as in February he didnt had any motivation and he was thinking wether to retire or not at the end of the year.However,he is now enjoying his tennis and one evidence of this is that he is always smilling and that in the interview to the prees yesterday,he said that his objective was to finish the year near the Top10,which clearly means he will not retire at the end of the year :)

Ferrero started the match as he usually does,loosing his serve as he was playing as if he didnt know what to do.This meant that he started loosing by 0-2.However,he changed his mind and he started to play very aggresively and leading himself the points,which made the rusian had no option of winning lots of points to JC and Ferrero went to lead the set by 5-2.The rusian won his serve saving one set point,but then Ferrero used his serve doing to aces to end the first set by 6-3-

On the second set,the rusian started completely lost,doing unforced errors in easy points and not having control on his forehand,However,he used his serve all along the set to continue being alive in the set.Ferrero continued doing lots of winners (mainly on his forehand) and they both went into tie break.As soon as it started,we could clearly see the role of each one,as the rusian was the one who was loosing all the points and Ferrero kept in the baseline,finishing most of the points doing passing shots.

On the third and last set,Youzhny knew he was going nowhere with his type of play and he started hitting the ball harder and he also begun to do winners with his backhand.He kept on control on his serves game until in the 3-3,where Juan Carlos started doing some wonderful winners with both backhand and forehand and he finally broked Youzhny´s serve.He ended the macth with two aces on his last serve game,winning a very important match which will probably have given him lots of confidence.

Ferrero will play today first round of Wimbledon against Youzhny

Juan Carlos Ferrero will start his participation in this grass Grand Slam today against a really difficult opponent,the rusian Mikhail Youzhny,who is currently ranked 44 in the ATP ranking and who is doing a very irregular year,as he did some wonderful results (like in Munich,where he reached the final,where he lost to Berdych) and also he has done some very poor results (for example in two of the lasts tournaments he has played, in Roland Garros loosing agaisnt Hanescu or Eastbourne,where he lost if first round against Benneteau).

The rusian is always a really dificult opponent as he is capable of the best and of the worst.His backhand is really powerful and really dificult to return back,as he uses a spin which makes the ball bounce just in the end line with lots of force on it,making the player lots of times loos the point.Another shot JC needs to be careful with is with the rusian´s forehand,as when he hits it with the backhand he is really aggresive and most of the time he uses it to make lots of winners.

However,the key point which Ferrero needs to use to win the rusian is that Youzhny´s mentality is very irregular as he can sometimes play really well and suddenly he stops being concentrated and he starts loosing lots of points.If Ferrero plays aggresively and stays mentaly on the game,JC has high chances of winning the match.Another aspect that JC needs to improve form his last natch in grass against Murray is his serve,as if he serve well,doing lots of aces,the rusian will not have lots of chances of breaking JC´s serve.

The match will be played in Court 1,where there is tv coverage.More or less,the match will be played at 5:30 (british hour).Check the links of all of this pages to find a link that shows the match. Myp2p,livesport,balkansport,rojadirecta.

On yesterdays match,JC kept motivated and with lots of self-confidence two win a very hard and equal match,going one step further in the draw and therefore more points for the ranking.The key of the match was that Juan Carlos made lots of preesure on the french man in the key moments of the match,playing very aggresively and doing breaks in the important times (such us in the start of both sets).His forehand was great and he did some spectacular winners.His backhand was ok,as always and his serve was amazing,serving 15 ACES!!,which shows that he is improving his serves,as he did also some aces in second serves.This is really imporatant as in grass the serve is key factor to win a match.

Good uck on todays match Juanqui!!!

Ferrero beats Grosjean and reaches his 400th victory

With yesterday´s match,Ferrero reached his victory number 400 of his career,which is something which not all players can say.His stadistics are wonderful,as he has only lost 214 matches in his career,which means that in all the time he has been `playing tennis profesionally,he has had thwo times more wins than losses,making it a great player.Nowadays statistics are also great.He has won 14 matches and lost 9,having a positive balance,which is the one that has maked him go up in the ranking as this weekhe has reached the position number 90 of the ranking and until most of the season that i left to play,he doesn´t defend any point so his ranking is only going to go up.

In yesterday´s match,Ferrero was clearly the one who was dominating the match,as he never puat risk his serve and he had lots of break point in his favour.He did some magnificent winners,and he served really well,winning lots of service points.Another aspect that maked him won was that he was very confident in himself,as he rarely lost a esay point and he kept all the match concentrated and doing great shots.

Todays match of Juan Carlos will be against the french Paul Henri Mathieu,currently ranked 37 on the ATP ranking.In the last few tournaments,his level has gone down and he is not having that confidence wich madehim have oppourtunities in all the matches.An example of this strang level of te frenchman is that he suffered a lot in the first round to won Andrei Pavel who is ranked 911 of the world

Todays match will be more or less around 4:30 pm (british hour and as it is going to be played in the court number 1,wewill need to follow the match on the live scoreboard of the ATP.
