Ferrero in the main draw ceremony

Today,the main draw singles and doubles ceremony has been celebrated and as all of you know,Ferrero was there.It seems that he gave to him good luck in the main draw ceremony,as he will have a not-so-dificult player to play against in the first round of his tournament,the Valencia Open 500.

In first round he will play against Pablo Cuevas,which was borned in Argentina but now plays for Uruguay and who is ranked in the 49th position of the ATP rankings.Throughout the year,he has done some good results and he has a total year balance of 19 matches won and 12 lost.In the last two tournaments he played,he has done really good,as he reached quarterfinals in Moscow (two weeks ago) and he won the Challenger of Montevideo (in the 5th of October).

In this ceremony,also the doubles draw was selected.As JC comunicated months ago,he was going to play again doubles as it was a special tournament and he will play together with another Valencian player,David Ferrer.However,they will face a really difficult match in first round,as they will play against the fourth seeded players Damm and Knowle.

Ferrero wins a difficult match against Almagro by 7-5 7-6

Once more,Juan Carlos Ferrero played really good to win a tough player like Almagro,who played really aggresive and played lots of powerful shots,but JC´s mentality was much better than Nico´s and finally Juan Carlos won a very interesting match.Throughout both sets,Juan Carlos served really good (9 aces) and he won most of the important points (he saved 8 break points and only let Nico break his serve once).

At the start of the first set,everything was really equal but Almagro was the one who had the first break point,which Ferrero saved.Throughout all the set,we could see that Almagro tried to move Juan Carlos,but JC dindt get trapped in this strategy and he hitted the ball as near to the baseline he could,to avoid that Almagro had easy shots.Following this strategy,when everything looked as if the set was going to be decided in the tie break,Almagro´s head went off and he started to do some unforced errors,which JC takes advantage of and he finally won the first set by 7-5.

In the second set,Juan Carlos started really good,winning his first service to love and then having an advantage of 00-30,but Almagro woked up and he finally won his serve and put Ferrero in a lot of pressure in his second serve of the second set,where he finally won a break point,meaning that he was leading the set by 1-2*.Almagro won his next serve really easily and Ferrero looked as if he was giving away this set,but once more,his mentality change into a winner mentality and in the precise moment of the set,in the last chance he had (4-5*),he started playing really good and got a break which was really important,as he saved the second set and faced the last part of thi set with more confidence.Both players won their serves,although not easily,as Ferrero had to save about six cahnces of break that Almagro had.In the start of the tie break,everything went really good,as JC was leading by 2*-1.It was really clear to see that Ferrero played much better the tie break than Nico,as he played in a secure way,avoiding doing an unforced error,which was completely the opposite to Nico,who played all along the tie break with really powerful shots,but more than half of them hitted the net.Finally,Juan Carlos won the TB by 7-3 and the set by 7-6.

It was really good to see so much people supporting JC,with posters,photos,spanish flags....

Ferrero will play today against Almagro in first round

Yesterday,the main draw of the China Open was out and more or less is a tough draw,but Ferrero should win his match of first round:

SODERLING, Robin SWE v CHARDY, Jeremy FRA
ROBREDO, Tommy ESP v BECKER, Benjamin GER
MATHIEU, Paul-Henri FRA v LJUBICIC, Ivan CRO
QUALIFIER v RODDICK, Andy USA

VERDASCO, Fernando ESP v QUALIFIER
ALMAGRO, Nicolas ESP v FERRERO, Juan Carlos ESP
QUALIFIER v TROICKI, Viktor SRB
HANESCU, Victor ROU v DJOKOVIC, Novak SRB


As you can see,in first round,Ferrero will play against the spanish Nico Almagro,who is actually the 29th of the ATP ranking.In the Head to Head,Almagro wins 2-0,but both matches where played in 2006,so as both of them have changed and Ferrero is playing much better than in 2006,its probable that this statistic will change today.

The match between Juan Carlos Ferrero and Nico Almagro will be played today at more or less 3:00 pm (british hour) and although it will be played in the centre court,it is not clear if it will be possible to watch it in tv as most of the tv broadcast will start showing matches in the last 16 round.If you dont find a place to see it,you can watch the live scoring of the match in the scoreboard of the ATP.

After Juan Carlos has taken some days off to have some holidays,he will play next week in the China Open 500,which will take place in Beijing.In this tournament,both WTA and ATP players will play in the same week and as the Open is in the category of 500,the winner will win 500 points.

2)Djokovic
3)Roddick
4)Davydenko
5)Verdasco

13)J.C.Ferrero

Considering it is an Open 500,its really good that Juan Carlos is the thirdteenth player with best ranking.JC doesnt defend any points in this tournament,but seeing that he will loss 20 points in two weeks,it is necessary that he does a great week so that his spectacular improvement in the ranking can continue.Now,Juan Carlos is in the 21 position of the ranking and he has only a difference of 100 points with the 20th player of the ranking and he has 90 points more than the 22th player.
