JC does a great tournament at Montreal and improves more his ranking

JC Ferrero did a great job in the Masters 1000 of Montreal,where he lost in the third round against Murray,who would finally won this tournament.

Firstly,JC needed to won his two matches of the qualies so that he could enter the main draw.He easily won both of these matches.The first won was won in 39 minutes and in the second one only one set was played,as his opponent had physical problems and couldnt continue playing.

In the main draw,Ferrero played first round against a well known australian player:Lleyton Hewitt,who was doing some great results in the last tournaments.However,Ferrero once more showed his great quality and his great confidence he has on his self and he easily won the first set.In the second one,Lleyton started to put more power on his shots.Although the australian started to play better,JC demostrated that he should go to the Davis Cup semifinals and played at a really high level of tennis,where Hewitt couldnt stop him and finally won the second set by 6-4

On the second round,Ferrero played against another really difficult player,the french Gael Monfils,who is ranked the 13th of the world.On the first set,both players started playing really well,but Ferrero was the one who started to dominate the rallies and he finally won the first set.On the second set,the level of quality rised and the rallies became long and contained some wonderful shots,one of them being a fifty stroke rally.Gradually,it seemed that Monfils was the one that dominated the second set,but JC tried to hold on as much as he could and he finally won the match at the tie break,where he started loosing by 5-3 but finally won it by 9-7

Ferrero´s run at Montreal ended on the third round,on a match where he couldnt do nothing to win,as Murray played too well and Ferrero was also a bit tired after playing 5 consecutive matches that week.

This excellent results made JC improve once more his ranking and he is now in the 25th position of the ATP ranking.As he is not far away of points from the 24 and 23 position,it is not imposible for him to go into the 23 position after playing the US OPEN,where he doesnt defend any point.

Juan Carlos easily wins Hewitt by 6-1 6-4

Yesterday,JC won his match more easily than expected against Lleyton Hewitt.

In the first set,JC started really well,showing some great winners and also showing his great confidence that he has,as he went out to the court knowing he could win the match.We could see this because as soon the match started Ferrero started to dominate in the points,to make Lleyton move around the court and it was him who was constantly doing the winner and making the australian do errors.

On the second set,JC started well but the match changed as Hewitt started playing with more confidence and he putted more power to his forehand,making Ferrero suffer when hitting with the backhand.

Today Ferrero will play against Monfils at 18:00 british hour and the match can be followed at BET365 or by a link at Myp2p or P2P4u

Ferrero wins Lapentti by 6-4 6-7 6-0 and will play against Robredo

Yesterday,Juan Carlos Ferrero won his match against Lapentti in a match that becomed more complecated than expected as Ferrero needed to win the third set to pass into the second round.

Both of the players served well in the match,but the one who did more aces was Lapentti,who ended the match with 10 aces.However,the key point of the math was that Ferrero saved all the break points Nicolas had (8) and he converted all his break points,which showed that he was more focused on the deuce than Lapentti

This night JC will play against the spaniard Robredo,who didnt played first round as he is a seeded player.Tha match will be around 9:00 pm (british hour) and as there is no tv coverage until friday,we will need to follow the macth at the scoreboard of the ATP.

Ferrero will play at Washington against Lapentti in first round

After loosing the final of Umag,Ferrero will play the tournament of Washington DC (500).He has a hard draw,as in the second round he would play against Robredo and if winning against Haas.

However,in the first round he will play against the Nicolas Lapentti,who is currently going down at the ranking (174 position).Despite his current ranking position,he has done a good season,as he reached semifinals at Costa du Sauipe,quarterfinals at Cincinatti and thrid round at Barcelona and Roland Garros.
In this year,he has won 8 matches and lost 11 and as he is not well ranked,he has played some challenger tournaments.

In conclusion,Ferrero should easily win Lapentti.His match against Nico will be today not before 5:00 pm washington hour (11:00 pm spanish hour).We will need to follow the score live at the scoreboard of the ATP as there is no tv coverage of the tournament until friday.
