2011-01-30T15:54:00.000+01:00

Once more , Juan Carlos Ferrero will not be able to play a tournament which he planned to play due to not recovering enough from the surgery he had . Yesterday it became official that he will not play at Chile , meaning that we will have to wait one week more to see him again playing in courts , which in theory will happen at Brazil , in Costa Do Sauipe´s tournament .

Hope he recovers completely in this next week and that he will be able to play at Brazil to defend last years title .

New media of JC

JC will also not play at Bilbao

2010-12-15T08:16:00.000+01:00

This past days was confirmed that Juan Carlos Ferrero will not play at the Bilbao Masters , an exhibition tournament in Spain where last year he won in the final against Nico Almagro . Marcel Granollers will be his sustitute in this tournament . The abscence of JC means that he will not play any match in this pre-season .

Let´s all hope he gets well soon!

Ferrero confirms his presence on Acapulco

2010-12-11T23:13:00.000+01:00

Ferrero will finally not play at the National Masters of Sevilla

2010-12-08T16:30:00.000+01:00

Finally , when it seemed that JC would play again after the surgery he was submitted to , we have been told that JC will not participate in the National Masters of Spain , where they plan to do a tribute to Carlos Moya , who has retired this year from professional tennis. JC thinks that it is too soon to play again a official match and that it´s a bit risky , so he has decided not to play yet. This means that we will have to wait a bit more until the Masters of Bilbao to see again JC play a official match.Here you have some words JC said about him not playing at Sevilla:

"Although the recovery from the injury i had which didn´t let me play at Valencia is going on the right track , it was a bit of a risk to start to compete so soon"

"I´m really sorry for not playing at Sevilla beacuse i was looking forward to it , because of the city and it´s special tournament , with the tribute to Carlos Moya"

"The main draw has important players which will offer the people there a great show , so i´m sure Sevilla will enjoy it"

Ferrero will start next season at Auckland!

2010-12-04T11:21:00.000+01:00

It´s now confirmed , Juan Carlos will start the season of 2011 in the same place as he did this year , at Auckland (between 10-15 of January) , just in the place where his injury started....This are the seeded players of the Heineken Open:

2)Isner
3)Montañes

After the match , it will be inagurated a sculpture in memory of the first Davis Cup that Spain won 10 years ago.

New noticies from Juan Carlos!

2010-11-21T16:57:00.000+01:00

We are already starting to know where will each player start next season . We still don´t know if JC will play any 250 tournament before the Australian Open. However , we do know that the Chile open (Movistar Open) is very interested on Juan Carlos and will try to have his participance on that tournament . This is not a usual open played by JC ,but there is always a first time for everything . If he does play here , this will be the point where he will start his South American season. This notice was known on the official website of David Nalbandian , where it says that David will play there and it mentions that the organization wants also that JC playes there.

This week , on a interview the german press did to Roger Federer , the Swiss mentioned Ferrero , which is to thanked , as he said great words of JC. He was talking that he is a bit sad because there is currently no young player that is reaching the best positions of the ranking.Then he mentioned that "when i was still a teenage , usually , there where on each season two or three players which where very good and talented like Hewitt , Safin , Ferrero or Roddick". This are great words from Federer to Juan Carlos , is great to see that other players also see Juan Carlos as a very talented one.

When we start to know more noticies about JC , i will publish them here . See you :)

Ferrero will play another tournament in the preseason : The national tournament of Spain

2010-11-17T23:27:00.000+01:00

In theory , it is confirmed that JC should play two tournaments in the preseason so that he gets confidence with his play before the new season start . The two tournaments that he will play will be the National tournament of Spain in Sevilla (from the 9 to the 11of December) and a exhibition one in Bilbao (from the 17 to 19 of December).

At Sevilla , other players playing this tournament will be Ferrer , Almagro , Montañes , Guillermo Garcia Lopez , Daniel Gimeno , Marcel Granollers and Carlos Moya. In the exhibition of Bilbao , other players will be Almagro , Ferrer ,Robredo and Wawrinka.

Interview of Ferrero about the Valencian Open 500

2010-11-11T19:59:00.002+01:00

Here you have an interview of Juan Carlos where he explains in more detail things about the Valencian Open 500 and also where he talks about how he is recovering from his injury.

Interview here

Ferrero at the Valencia Open 500

2010-11-06T00:26:00.000+01:00

Althogh JC is not playing "his" tournament due to the surgery he had , we have seen him on some ocasions in the main court of the Valencian Open (like on tuesday on the match between Ferrer and Garcia Lopez) , which is known as the Agora. He has also been present in some activities of this tournament , such as clinics with the small and young tennis players of Valencia.

Before the Valencian Open started , Juan Carlos saw the football match between Murcia and Real Madrid , as he was invited to the Murcia´s stadium to see live the match.

Ferrero will be missing his Asian tour due to his injury in the knee

2010-09-28T23:24:00.000+02:00

When we thought we would see again JC in action in one week , finally JC has dropped from the tournaments he aimed to play at Asia due to the continuous problems that his injury in the knee is giving him. What he is planning now is to make a later comeback and prepare specifically for the Valencia Open (which will start in more or less one month).

Thanks to the spanish newspaper "Las Provincias" , who dedicated a recently report to the Valencia Open 500 , we can perfectly know how the injury is going for JC due to the words of his coach , Antonio Martinez Cascales. In the interview they did to him , he said this about JC´s injury : "He had really bad luck in the first tournament he played on this year when he suffered a sprain in his ankle . He tried to recover rapidly for the Australian Open , which began 5 days later and he made too much force in his left feet trying not to rest on his damaged leg.Finally , this evolved in a tendinitis , from which he hasn´t recover in 9 months".

Loosing this Asian tour will probably mean that other players will improve his ranking , so it is possible that he could drop out of the Top 30 before playing again at Valencia. However , the positive thing is that he will not defend any points in the Asian tour of next year , meaning that he has more choices of entering the Olympic games of London 2012.Hope you recover soon JC!

Next tournament for Ferrero : the US Open

2010-08-22T23:17:00.002+02:00

After not being able to play at Toronto due to his injury on the knee and again not playing also at Cincinatti due to a cold he had, Juan Carlos will play again on the US Open, where he reached last year the fourth round (180 points) . Missing the last couple of tournaments has made him loose some positions on his ranking, but what is worst is that he will play at New York without having any competitive practice on that surface in this season.

JC will appear tomorrow in the 24th position of the ATP , due to the great week Mardy Fish has done at Cincinatti (reaching the final), so JC will loose one position. He has more or less 70 points of difference from Feliciano Lopez (who is ranked 25 th) . This means that JC will be more or less the seeded player 17- 24 , making a good draw possible , so that he can reached the fourth round and why not, improving last years result and winning some points for his ranking.

JC will play his match of first round at Wimbledon this afternoon

2010-06-22T10:51:00.002+02:00

Juan Carlos will start his participance on this new edition of Wimbledon this afternoon playing against Xavier Malisse.The match will be played on Court 2 and it is predicted that it will start around 18:00 (british hour),but this depends on how long the three matches that will be played before will last. As court 2 has tv coverage,we will be able to see Ferrero play for sure,we just need to get a link to watch the match on any streaming site,such as MyP2P,LiveScoreHunter,Fromsport,Adthe....

Analysis of Xavier Malisse

Malisse was born in Belgium and he is more or less the same age as JC.He is now ranked on the 75th position and last week he played at Hertogenbosch,where he reached the semifinals,loosing against Stakovski.In general,this year hasnt been a good one for Malisse,although on the two last tournaments he has played,he has reached the best results of the year (quarterfinals at Queens,where he won Djokovic,and semis on Hertogenbosch).

Malisse and JC have only played once against each other.This happened at Queens last year,where JC won him on third round by 6-4 7-6. We all hope that JC returns with a good win and that he gains back that confidence he had on the clay season.

Ferrero wins easily against Granollers and will play his second round match against Benjamin Becker

2010-04-13T23:38:00.003+02:00

JC´s match of first round played yesterday was like an exhibition match for him,as he continuously enjoyed his gamestyle throughout the match and showed how to make some imposible angles with his backhand.The final score (6-0 6-3) shows how easy it was for JC to win his first round match against Granollers,who becamed 24 years old in the same day of the match.

On the first set,Juan Carlos played with so much confidence and so deep that from the start of the match he dominated his opponent by controlling most of the points and by doing some magnificent winners (especially with his great backhand).It is also important to say that JC had a very low percentage of unforced errors,making the 6-0 possible.

On the second set,JC started the set with too much confidence and he relax a bit.Marcel took advantage of this relaxation to make JC loose his service,but soonly afterwards Juan Carlos woked up and inmediatly obtained a break which made him start playing better and with much more confidence.Finally,JC did another break and he won the second set by 6-3

JC will play on second round this wednesday against the german Benjamin Becker,who won on firts round the australian Tomic and who is currently ranked in the 40th position.So far this year,Becker has won 10 matches and lost 11 (having therefore a negative overall result).However,on the last tournament he participated in (the Masters 1000 of Miami),he reached surprisingly the fourth round (winning on the way players like Ljubicic and Robredo).

The match of second round will be played tomorrow wednesday on the Central Court on the firt turn,so the match will start at 9:30 (british hour) and you can follow the match by BET 365 or other pages (like myp2p,atdhe,fromsport,livescorehunter,rojadirecta.....)

Good luck JC!

Juan Carlos will play today first round of the Masters 1000 of MonteCarlo

2010-04-12T09:07:00.003+02:00

Finally,the European clay court season has arrived and JC will start at MonteCarlo.He will try to continue the great clay court season he started on the South American clay court season,where he won 14 matches and only lost 1.JC will appear as the ninth seeded player and will start on first round against Marcel Granollers,who has qualifies to the Main Draw by playing the qualies.

Main draw of Juan Carlos

[8] Ivan Ljubicic (CRO) vs bye
Fabio Fognini (ITA) vs Michael Llodra (FRA)
Jeremy Chardy (FRA) - Qualifier
Qualifier vs [11] David Ferrer (ESP)

[15] Jurgen Melzer (AUT) vs Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA)
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP) vs Philipp Petzschner (GER)
Thomaz Bellucci (BRA) vs Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER)
[3WC] Andy Murray (GBR) vs bye

[5] Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs bye
Nicolas Almagro (ESP) vs Simon Greul (GER)
[WC] Bernard Tomic (AUS) vs Benjamin Becker (GER)
Qualifier vs [9] Juan Carlos Ferrero (ESP)

[14] Juan Monaco (ARG) vs Qualifier
Michael Berrer (GER) vs Evgeny Korolev (KAZ)
Qualifier vs Eduardo Schwank (ARG)
[2] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs bye

As you can see,JC will start playing against Granollers in first round.Then he will probably play against Tomic and on third round he will face Tsonga.Let´s hope that JC is able to reach quarter finals,where in theory he would play against Nadal.

Ferrero vs Granollers,first round

JC will start his participance on this Masters 1000 of Monte Carlo,where he has done some great results (he won this tournament twice in 2002 and 2003) and he will play against Granollers,who won in the qualies against Ouanna and Balleret.

Granollers is ranked 88 and so far this year he has won 7 matches and lost 6.His best results in this year has been the final he lost in the Challenger of Rabat (against Ramirez Hidalgo) and the semis he did at the Challenger of Marrakech.On the last tournament he played,Casablanca,he lost on the second round against Guillermo Garcia Lopez.JC and Marcel already met at the start of this year at Buenos Aires.Granollers won the first set at the tie break.However, JC won the second set by 6-0 and the thrid and last one by 6-3.

The match will start around 14:00-14:30 and as it will be played at centre court,we will be able to watch the match by Bet 365 or any link given in pages such us atdhe,myp2p,fromsport,rojadirecta,channelsurfing...

Good luck JC!

Ferrero vs Tsonga,this afternoon at 4:00 pm

2010-03-30T07:47:00.002+02:00

Although the order of play was released really late,we now know at what time JC will play his match of 4th round against Tsonga.This will be played (if there´s no rain) at 4:00pm (british hour) and it will be played in the Central Court.

We will be able to watch JC´s match at Bet 365 or any links given in webs like myp2p,fromsport,rojadirecta,livescorehunter,atdhe...

Ferrero will play this night against Isner on third round at Miami

2010-03-28T14:37:00.004+02:00

After beating very easily Koellerer on second round at the Masters 1000 of Miami due to the retirement of Dani ,JC will play third round against John Isner.The match will be played on the Grandstand Court (more or less around 10:00pm british hour)and we will be able to follow the match in any link of the match given on websites such us atdhe,channelsurfing,fromsport,my p2p,rojadirecta....

Analysis of John Isner

Isner is a player who is doing a magnific season so far.On the first tournamnet of the year,he won his first title of his career at Auckland and so far he has done some great results (such us reaching the final on the Open 500 of Memphis).On this season,he has already won 17 matches (one more than JC) and his improvement in his ranking has been spectacular(as he is just outside the Top 20).

His style of play is strange compared to other professional players.Although as some of them he has a very powerful and secure serve,the thing which makes this player special is his ability to mantain long rallies,which is really impressive as not many people with his height can be such a good baseline player.What JC must do to win him is to make sure that he hits back every single serve of the american without doing silly errors and also to make John run along the court,because if he plays as he did against Ferrer at Buenos Aires,Isner will not cope with that level of play.

Good luck JC and,hope you can make it to third round!

Ferrero vs Ferrer;final of Acapulco

VAMOS Ferrerooooooooooooo!!

Ferrero wins again,making it 13 victories in a row

2010-02-26T20:24:00.003+01:00

It seems that JC´s dream is nowhere near to it´s end and that JC is not suffering at all the fatigue of so much matches in two and a half weeks.Yesterday,Juan Carlos won Nicolas Almagro in three sets (6-1 5-7 6-2) and has made it into the semifinals where he will play against Juan Monaco.The match will start not before 11:00 pm (british hour) and as we get near this time i´ll put links of where you will be able to see the match.

PD:YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH THE MATCH HERE

As im sure you will all remember,JC played against Monaco one week ago in the semifinals of Buenos Aires,where Juanqui won Pico in two sets (finishing the second set on the tie break).However this time,we need to have special carefulness with Monaco,as he won in quarterfinals the first seeded player,Fernando Verdasco,showing clearly that it is going to be a really tough match for JC.

Analyses of the match between J.C.Ferrero and Almagro

On the first set,Juan Carlos showed once more his great fitness and quality of play level as he just went literally over Almagro on the first set,where the Murcian player only won one game,being this one his first service of the match,where he won it to 30.On JC´s first service,JC suffered a bit as the game got to 30-30,but JC solved in a great way this first dangerous moment,leaving the score to 1-1*.

From this moment of the match,although it is true that Almagro´s tennis level went a bit down due to his frequently unforced errors,JC started playing again as agressive as he knows and he offered us some great return and backhand winners which maked him obtain the first break of the match,leaving the score to 3*-1.On his next service,JC showed his confidence by winning this serve to love (with an ace and two winners).As JC was playing so good,Nico lost completely the initiative on the points,making him loose once more his serve on this first set and helping JC to finish the set by 6-1.

On the second set,Juan Carlos started again playing at a good level and after winning his service on the first game of the second set,he had won 7 games in a row.The anecdote of the match happened when during a rallie,Almagro hitted the ball but slipped on the clay and felt on a bad position of the leg which maked us think that he was badly injured.However,he inmediatly started walking and played again with normal leg movility.Although JC was confident on himself,Nico started playing much agressive,with really powerful shots which made JC loose in most moments the control of the point and making JC lost his serve at the final part of the set,in the 11th game.Finally,Nico won the set by 7-5.

On the start of the third set,first JC was really struggling to hold with his serve,but on the third game of the set,Juanqui obatin a really important break which pushed him to the victory,winning the last set by 6-2.

Good luck this night JC!

Latest news of Juan Carlos of these last days

2010-02-25T19:53:00.004+01:00

As in this last days there has happened lots of important things around JC,here you have all the noticies of JC from this past days.

Ferrero is at quarterfinals on Acapulco!!

PD:You can follow JC´s match that will start in a couple of minutes through here

After the match of second round of this night where Ferrero won his 12th victory in a row,JC will play this night his match of quarterfinals against Nico Almagro (winner of last year´s edition of this tournament) and who occupies the 26th position in the ranking.We need to remind that JC also won Almagro on December at the exhibition tournament of Bilbao in the final,so JC should win Nico.However,we hope that JC doesn´t feel the pain he felt some days ago on his right wrist due to so much matches played.The match will take place not before 3:00 am(english hour) and as we become closer to this hour i will put here places where you will be able to see the match.

Ferrero is already on the 16th position of the ATP Ranking :)

As you will all know,with the tittle of JC at Buenos Aires,JC went up by 6 positions on the ATP ranking,situating on the sixteenth position,meaning that he came back to the Top 20 after 2 years (the last time was on February of 2008).This improvement on the ranking makes JC be the third best spaniard on the rankings.

However,this is not going to stop here,as with the won match of this night against Andreev,JC has won an overall of 90 points this week,whih means that if David Ferrer doesn´t win Acapulco,JC will end the week at least on the 15th position and if he wins this night match,he might aswell improve into the 14th position.

Ferrero will play on the Davis Cup as number 1 of Spain

The great results which has done JC in the last weeks has helped him to return to the Davis Cup Spanish Team.JC will play this first round of the Davis Cup as the first seeded player of Spain and the other members of the team will be Ferrer,Granollers and Robredo (being this last two the players for the doubles).

JC becomes the ninth player with most points won this season

If we take on account the last win of JC on the last night,Juan Carlos appears to be the ninth player with most point won,which is sensational as if he continues on this way,he can do so important things this year....

Also,he has overtaken Nadal,meaning that he is the spanish player with most points won,being the spaniard which is playing the best tennis currently.

Ferrero: winner of the Brasil Open!!

2010-02-15T21:57:00.005+01:00

Yesterday was an incredible night which JC will laways have on his mind.Yesterday´s tittle was the tenth of his career won on clay,the thirdtieth of all his career and the first one of this season which looks like it is going to be another great season,similar to last years.The final match was really impressive,it was so under control on Juan Carlos that it was impossible for it too scape from JC´s hands.Juan Carlos played so good and he was so concentrated that the polish player only won a game in the whole match.

Although with this win JC hasn´t improve in his ranking,the enormous gap between him and the players on the Top 20 has been completely closed and there is less than 100 points between JC and the 18th position,which means that JC must do a great tournament this week at Buenos Aires,as it is vital for him to pick up more points and take advantage of this close differences,which could make him rise to well inside the Top 20.Also,there has now been created a gigantic gap between him and the players which persecute him in the rankings (a difference of more than 200 points with the 23rd position),which means that if JC had a bad tournament,his position will not be in danger for a couple of weeks.

Analysis of yesterday´s final match

The match started as most of the finals do,with both players being a bit nervous and both making silly errors.Due to this nervous atmosphere,in the first two games there were two breaks done.However,the first two come back to its normal play and start dominating the match was Juan Carlos,who showed his experience and started making the polish run around the court in long rallies and started to make more and more winners.In the third game of the first set,JC broked Kubot´s serve and from that point,the polish dissapeared from the match and JC won the rest 10 games of the match.JC was playing so good that it´s very difficult to analyse the rest of the match as he did so many great shots that we wound finish until tomorrow,but the point i would like to highlight as being the best of the match was one were you could clearly see the quality of JC,his great fitness level and mostly the great motivation he has on fighting every ball .

This magnific point was played in the second set,with the 1-0* and the first deuce of the match.In this rallie,the polish player did a wonderful dropshot and didn´t expect that JC could hit it back.Juanqui did another dropshot,although this one was send to the other side of the court.The polish nearly let it bounced twice,but he did an exceptional effort to reach the ball and hit once more another dropshot.It seemed that JC couldn´t reach the ball,but he finally putted the head of the racket and hitted back into the baseline.Kubot only could send it back doing a lob which was finally smashed by JC finishing an extraordinary point.

Tomorrow i´ll upload some photos,videos,interviews and the first round match of this wonderful week of JC at Costa Do Sauipe.

Thanx for visiting us :)

Happy birthday Juan Carlos!!!

2010-02-12T21:08:00.002+01:00

Today is JC´s turn to try to reach the semifinals by playing against Carlos Berlocq,an unknown player which is currently in the 295th position of the ranking and who´s best history ranking was 65 (at 2007).

The match will start around 8:30 pm (british hour) and you can see it through BET365 or by the link i gave in the post of Ferrero vs Schwank.

As you all know,today is a very very important day,as it´s JC´s birthday,he is now 30 years old.A day like today,30 years ago,our hero was born.We hope that he can continue giving us great noticies and that he can win lots of tournaments and finally that he can celebrate by the best way his birthday,by winning on Sunday this tournament of Costa Do Sauipe.

Ferrero wins an exciting match against Massu and he is already in quarterfinals

2010-02-12T20:27:00.003+01:00

In the match that Juan Carlos played of second round yesterday,JC suffered too much than expected because of his fault and also due to the high level of play that Nicolas showed in some moments of the match.

In the fisrt set,JC just went over Massu,although JC wasn´t playing as good as he can,doing lots of unforced and strange errors.Once he broked the serve of Massu,Juan Carlos played much better than Nicolas,winning lots of points in a quick way,most of them due to the unpatientness of Nicolas,who tried to do at all time winners and most of them went out.Another key point of the first set was the clearly strategy of Massu to annoy JC by loosing lots and lots of time between his serve,getting to the limit of the time permited and in some times exceeding it.However,this didn´t work for him and JC won the first set by 6-2.Everything seemed that the second set was again going to be quick and that the match would not last a lot,but after a couple of minutes we discovered that this wasn´t going to happen.

At the start of the second set,JC did again a break on Massu´s serve and more or less in this time the anecdote of the match happened,when Massu went to the umpire and commented to him that some people from the court where saying bad things about his mum.This made Massu nervous and agressive and made him wake up and play harder,with much more power on his shots.Although the rythm of Nico was getting each time better and better,JC had a wonderful 30-30 when they were at 5-3* to have the chance of having a match point,but he didnt got it that time as he threw out the ball in a strange way,as the forehand wasn´t that difficult.From that point,JC started to play worse and to loss confidence on his shots,which made him lost the second set by 5-7.

In the third and last set,Massu was playing wonderfully well and it was very clear that JC wasn´t in the best moment of the match.This could be clearly seen in the service of JC,as he had lots of problems to avoid that Massu broked his serve.However,everything changed when JC did a magnific break,leading with 3*-2.From this point,Juan Carlos got again some confidence and started playing really good,more or less in a similar level to the one of the middle of last year.

JC wins his match of first round and will play this night against Massu

2010-02-10T22:41:00.004+01:00

Finally,yesterday we enjoyed the first win of Juan Carlos in this year.The match was very leveled and it lasted for a bit more than 2 hours.The final score was of 7-6 6-3.This night,JC will try to win his round 2 match against Nicolas Massu in a match that will be played around 11:30 pm(british hour).The match can be followed by bet365 and also by the link which i gave in yesterdays post.

In yesterday´s first set against Schwank,throughout all this set the game was very leveled.Although at the start of the match Schwank was the one who putted more pressure on JC and was who had more chances of breaking Ferrero´s service,JC fought back well and he demostrated his great quality saving numerous break points (such as in the 4*-4,where JC saved 4 Bp´s which if the argentinian had won,it would probably would mean that JC would had lost this set)

Another key fact which we need to highlight is that in some parts of the first set,JC played too short,so it was constant the silly errors that he did by hitting the ball against the net.In this first set there were some excellent points played (such us the one were Schwank hitted the ball against the net but this passed into JC´s court.Ferrero sprinted powerfully and finally did a wonderful wrist change to do a perfect backslice near the net.Another great shot was the one were JC did a magnific passing shot to win the last point of the tie break)

Finally,to finish the review of the first set,we need to say how important the change of rythm and level of play that Ferrero did between the tie break,where he started loosing by 1*-3 but recovered,played much better without doing any unforced errors and finally won it by 7-4.

We could describe the second set as a crazy one,where lots of breaks were done.In the start of the set,JC started leading by 2-0*,but after the argentinian winning his service (with the 2*-1) the breaks started and 4 consecutive breks were done,leaving the score to 4*-3.JC finally won his own serve and break once more Schwank´s serve to win his first match of the year.

Good luck this night and we wish that you can obtain this night your second win of the year.Good luck JC!

Ferrero vs Schwank,today in the second turn

2010-02-09T08:13:00.003+01:00

After more than two weeks without seeing Juan Carlos playing,today we will have the opportunity to see him again in action and also at a good hour,as the match will start more or less around 8:30pm/9:00pm (british hour).The match can be followed by bet365 webpage (were you only need to register).

Good luck Juan Carlos and lets hope we can see you winning for the first time this year :)

Ferrero at Costa Do Sauipe;let´s go for the tittle!

2010-02-07T22:32:00.003+01:00

Nearly one year later,Juan Carlos will be again the first seeded player of a tournament,this time of the Costa Do Sauipe 250 tournament.Main Draw is out and we know who will be the possible opponents of JC,but trust me,the way for JC to win this tournament is not going to be so easy as we wish it would.Here you have the main draw of the tournament:

(1)FERRERO, Juan Carlos ESP vs. SCHWANK, Eduardo ARG
QUALIFIER vs. MASSU, Nicolas CHI
CHELA, Juan Ignacio ARG vs. LUCZAK, Peter AUS
HOCEVAR, Ricardo BRA vs. (8)GASQUET, Richard FRA

(3)BELLUCCI, Thomaz BRA vs. ALVES, Thiago BRA
VENTURA, Santiago ESP vs. GIMENO-TRAVER, Daniel ESP
LORENZI, Paolo ITA vs. MELLO, Ricardo BRA
SOUZA, Joao BRA vs. (5)HANESCU, Victor ROU

(6)CUEVAS, Pablo URU vs. QUALIFIER
QUALIFIER vs. GIL, Frederico POR
QUALIFIER vs. DANIEL, Marcos BRA
STARACE, Potito ITA vs. (4)ANDREEV, Igor RUS

(7)ZEBALLOS, Horacio ARG vs. GRANOLLERS, Marcel ESP
FOGNINI, Fabio ITA vs. VASSALLO ARGUELLO, Martin ARG
KUBOT, Lukasz POL vs. HERNANDEZ, Oscar ESP
GREUL, Simon GER vs. (2)MONTANES, Albert ESP

As you can see above,the first round is going to be tough against Eduardo Schwank,who will play this open really prepared and with a lot of rythm as he has played this week at Santiago de Chile and in the last couple of weeks,he has reached two finals of challengers (winning one of them).In second round,JC should play against Massu (who should be easier to win than Schwank) and in the third round,JC will probably play against the second best player of the Open.Although he has such a low ranking,Gasquet has the quality of a top 20 player,so in quarterfinals the match will be very very difficult for JC.If Juan Carlos won this match,then everything would be much easier and it would be more probable that JC won his 13th tittle.

However,we need to go slowly,round by round and we hope that JC plays his first match against Schwank with his great style and hitting hard.Once we know when JC is playing,we will note it down here :)

Good luck JC!

Ferrero receives a susprise party before going to Brazil

2010-02-07T09:49:00.003+01:00

The most special friends of JC decided to celebrate a susprise party due to the thirtieth birthday of JC and was done at Mya (which is near where the Valencia 500 Open was played).Although the real day of his birthday is the 12th of February,this party was celebrated before this date as the 12th of February JC will be at Brazil,participating at the Costa Do Sauipe Open 250.

As we can read in JC´s webpage,he first thought that he was going to the presentation of the new book of the Valencian Open,but when he got there,he realised that instead he was attending to a susprise party.His birtday gift was a brand new car,where all the names of the people who attended this party could be read.Another susprise was when in a big screen a message send by David Ferrer was projected and it could be read that we would soon see JC in the veteran circuit.

JC confirms his participance on the tournament of Acapulco

2010-01-22T18:43:00.003+01:00

A few days ago,it was confirmed that Juan Carlos will participate in the tournament of Acapulco,which is played between the 22-27 of February.

If Juan Carlos mantains his ranking in the next few weeks,in theory he will be the fourth seeded player.The rest of possible theory playes (in orther of ranking) could be Gonzalez,Monfils,Ferrer,Querrey,Almagro,Monaco,Montañes.

When we get close to the date of this tournament,we will give you more and more info of JC at Acapulco.

Good luck JC!

Ferrero losses against Dodig,in spite of winning the first two sets.

2010-01-22T10:38:00.003+01:00

The match lost by Ferrero against Dodig was surprising,difficult to understand as Juan Carlos starting winning the first two sets but the croatian finally won the match and this becomes the second consecutive year where Juan Carlos losses in the first round of the Australian Open.

As the match was not offered in tv,it is very difficult to analyse it,but based on the comments of other fans of Juan Carlos which saw the match in that court,we Know that Juan Carlos started really well the match,dominating the at all time.Also,the croatian started really badly in the first two sets,playing at a poor level.However,as Juan Carlos explains in his official blog,"the calming effect dissapeared and he continued with the pain throughout the match".

After this bad start of the year,where JC has won 0 matches and has lost 2, his next tournaments will be in the South American tour,playing in Costa Du Sauipe,Buenos Aires and Acapulco.We shouldn´t loose the faith on Juan Carlos,as we all remember that last year he started as bad as this one but then he recovered and his comeback was exceptional,so we know that JC is capable of this and im sure that in South America he will win lots and lots of points and why not winning a tournament.

Please,dont loose the faith on JC!

Ferrero vs Dodig on court 13

2010-01-18T18:50:00.003+01:00

Juan Carlos will play his match of first round of the Australian Open this night against the croatian Ivan Dodig on court 13. The bad news is that this court has no tv coverage,so the only way to follow JC´s match is by the livescores at the Australian Open webpage,where they show live scores with some statistics,such us aces,winners,unforced errors....

If the rain respects the players and it doens´t fall at Melbourne,JC´s match will be played around 5:00am (british hour).

Good luck JC!

Juan Carlos will play against Ivan Dodig in first round of the Australian Open.

2010-01-17T17:47:00.003+01:00

This night,the first Grand Slam of the year will start and we now know who will be the opponent of Juan Carlos in the first round,a croatian called Ivan Dodig. As Juan Carlos is situated in the top half of the main draw,his macth will be played at Monday´s night,so we will have to wait one day more to see Juan Carlos again after his injury at Auckland.

Who is Ivan Dodig?

So that he could get into the Main Draw,this croatian needed to played all the qualies rounds.He is 25 years old and its now ranked in the 185th position of the ranking.In the first tournament he played this year,at Doha,he lost against the belgian Steve Darcis.The most peculiar thing as that,although most of you will not now who Dodig is,last year he played against Juan Carlos in the second round of the qualies at Montreal,in a match that lasted for a bit more than 30 min and which JC won by 6-4 0-1 ret.

If we analyse the statistics of that match,the croatian only did one ace more than JC and in the precentage of first serves,JC was much better than him (85% against 63%). Although Dodig has a good serve,the percentage of points won with his second serve is low, so that is what JC needs to take advantage of so that he can obtain the breaks to reach the victory.

Has Juan Carlos recovered from his injury?

As we can see in a video uploaded on youtube,which was recorded last night,we can see Juan Carlos training,doing some rallies.We can see that he moves without any pain and that he can play at a high level,mantaining long rallies, so we could say that he is mostly recovered.Watch the video of Ferrero training here

Once we know the schedule of Tuesday,we will write here at what time is his match and where you can see it.Hope you recover completely JC!

Ferrero gets injured in his first match,but it seems he will be able to play at Autrslian Open

2010-01-15T19:03:00.005+01:00

In his first match of the season,Juan Carlos got injured in his ankle and everything seemed that he would not be able to be ok for the start of the Australian Open.

However,as he said,he would do everything that he could so that he could recover and play at AO and once he arrived to Melbourne,he did a recovery session and he is now feeling much better and he can walk without pain.This was clearly explained in an interview that the spanish sports magazine Marca did to Antonio Martinez Cascales,where he said that he talked with Juan Carlos and he said to him that inflamation was reducing and that he had no pain,therefore he was much better than expected.

As Juan Carlos sees that he can be able to play,he is at the main draw and he will have some not-so-hard players in the first rounds (such as a player coming from qualies for first round or Rajeev Ram in second round).However,we must go step by step and hope that JC continues his recovery and that he acn move in the court without pain.

Recover soon JC!

PS:Video of the injury of JC here

Ferrero will play his first match of the year this night against Michael Lammer

2010-01-12T18:24:00.003+01:00

This night Ferrero will debute in this new season against an unknown player,Michael Lammer.The match will be played at 23:00 spanish hour (22:00 british hour) and we will be able to see it at BET365 and at planetstream.com,where you only need to register and you will be able to see the match.

Todays Opponent of Juan Carlos,Michael Lammer,is a player form Switzerland that was born 27 years ago.Actually, he in now ranked in the 209th position of the ATP and his best ranking was 150.In the last years his ranking has been very low as he doesnt play lots of matches each season (in 2009 he played 6 ATP matches).Lammer has already played in this year,at Doha,where he lost in the first round of the qualies against Koubek,which means that Juan Carlos should win this match easily,without problems.

Here you have a video where you can see how is the serve and the forehand of Michael Lammer.Good Luck JC!

Great draw for Juan Carlos in Auckland

2010-01-10T16:14:00.002+01:00

Juan Carlos must be really happy due to the magnific draw that he has for the first tournament of the season,Auckland.In here,he will be the third seeded player,and he is already in second round as in this tournament,the first four seeded players go directly to second round by Bye.

In the second round,he will play against the winner of a match between two players of the qualies,therefore his first match of the season should not be tough for him.In quarterfinals,in theory he will play against Albert Montañes (8th seeded player and actually 31 in the ATP ranking).In this match he also should win without difficulties and in semis he will probably play against Tommy Robredo or Monaco,a match that clearly will be much difficult than the first ones.In conclusion,Juan Carlos has a great opportunity here to obtain lots of points to improve his ranking and why not starting the season reaching the final.

Once we know who is JC´s opponent,we will analyse him in detail.Good luck JC!

Joma will be the new sponsor of Juan Carlos

2010-01-10T15:49:00.002+01:00

In this new season there is going to be a very important change in Juan Carlos,as he has a new sponsor,Joma,on both clothes and shoes,therefore JC finishes his relation with Lotto and changes to Joma,who also sponsors Feliciano Lopez since 2008.

Hope that Juan Carlos achieves some great results with Joma :)

Only two days left to see Ferrero again on court

2010-01-08T15:41:00.002+01:00

Finally,this new season has already started and there are only two days left to see again Juan Carlos playing.This will happen in the Heineken Open of Auckland (New Zeland).Last year,in this tournament,Juan Carlos reached the second round,which means that if he does a good job and reaches into the last rounds,he will win lots of points and he will be closer to the objective of the Top 15.

Juan Carlos will play as the third seeded player,so if he plays as he did at the exhibition tournament at Bilbao,he should reach semifinals.The first seeded player will be Tommy Robredo (16) (which Ferrero won in the exhibition tournament at semifinals) and the second one will be David Ferrer (hero of the last Davis Cup final).Other seeded players will be Almagro (24), Kolschreiber (27), Melzer (28), Monaco (30) and Montañes (31).

Dont forget that as this Auckland tournament is played one week before the first Grand Slam of the year,the Australian Open,so it is the perfect place so that Juan Carlos gains confidence and gets a good play before this important tournament.Also remember that two years ago,in 2008,Juan Carlos reached the final,where he lost against the german Kolschreiber.

Juan Carlos confirms he will play at Buenos Aires

2010-01-02T20:39:00.002+01:00

Yesterday,Juan Carlos Ferrero confirmed that he will play at Buenos Aires,which will take place between the 13-21 of February.

Other players which also will play at Buenos Aires are David Ferrer,David Nalbandian,Carlos Moya,Juan Monaco,Richard Gasquet...

The director of the tournament,Martín Jaite,said that "Ferrero comes from doing an extraordinary 2009 season.On 2008,he had some problems with the injuries,but the great results in the middles of this last season and hes return to the Top 20 makes him a really dangerous player for 2010,specially at clay.We have some great players coming to this Telmex Cup:Ferrero,Nalbandian,Ferrer,Monaco,Gasquet...which makes this years edition very exciting and hard"

A webpage situates Ferrero as the 9th best player of the decade

2009-12-24T20:08:00.003+01:00

As this decade is finishing,tennis webpages show statistics of the last decade.For example,in an englihs site,Tennisphilia,they have joined together some results and they have located Ferrero as the 9th best player of the decade,just ahead of Novak Djokovic.

This is the list of the 10 best players of this decade:

#10. Novak Djokovic
#9. Juan Carlos Ferrero
#8. Pete Sampras
#7. Gustavo Kuerten
#6. Marat Safin
#5. Andy Roddick
#4. Andre Agassi
#3. Lleyton Hewitt
#2. Rafael Nadal
#1. Roger Federer

Juan Carlos Ferrero at the Davis Cup Final

2009-12-09T22:41:00.002+01:00

Although Juan Carlos Ferrero didnt play at this Davis Cup final,there were some magic moments which he will remember forever,such us when the crowd shouted repeteadly his name again and again,making it clear that they also wanted to see Ferrero play.Another great moment was when David Ferrer dedicated his victory against Stepanek to Juan Carlos,showing how great friends they are.

Here you have a video which shows some great moments of Juan Carlos in this Davis Cup final.

Ferrero received this friday the award of "el rey Silo"

2009-11-29T15:03:00.003+01:00

Juan Carlos Ferrero received this last friday in a town of Asturias the award of "el rey Silo",which each year is given to a different tennis player.JC was really happy of receiving this award,as he said that "it´s an honour for me to receive this award.I am really happy of being here and the receivement of the people towards me has been great".

Although Juan Carlos knows that it is going to be very difficult for him to have a chance of playing in the Davis Cup final,in one of the questions that a young tennis player did to him,we could see that JC is really happy of being in the team : "I have really good memories of the Davis Cup final i played at 2000 and i am looking forward to play in that great court,I will try to help the team in all the things i can.Although i hope that finally Verdasco can play,i will be there for everything".

In the rest of the day,JC did some photos with young future tennis players and they had a talk with him of how his tennis style is and what they need to do to finally be a profesional tennis player like JC.Ferrero said to them that hIs favourite style is being aggresive and hitting the ball hard and that if they want to be a tennis player,they must train really hard and have confidence on them.

Ferrero will finally go to the Davis Cup final as tha fifth player

2009-11-21T10:39:00.003+01:00

Juan Carlos Ferrero has accepted the chance that Albert Costa gave to him to be part of the Spanish Davis Cup final team,although he will go as the fifth player,which makes it nearly imposible for him to play.If you analyse it,it is very unfair that JC will probably dont play in the final,as he was the one that saved Spain in quarterfinals when they played against Germany,winning the fifth match against Beck.Also,he gave Spain a crucial point in semifinals against Israel,so he deserves more,but at least he will have the opportunity to feel again those feelings he had when he gave Spain the first Davis Cup of their history,doing a great passing shot with his backhand.

Remember that this Davis Cup final will take place between the 4-6 of December.

Ferrero confirms his assistance to the Auckland Open,which will be played in January

2009-11-12T19:07:00.002+01:00

Former world tennis No 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero has confirmed he will return to Auckland in January.Next years appareance will be his sixth appearance in Auckland, having first played in 2000 as a teenager, beating Swiss ace Roger Federer on an outside court and continuing to the quarterfinals.

He lost a tense 2008 final to Philipp Kohlschreiber and returned this year, with the pair meeting in the second round in what was one of the tournament highlights. Ferrero lost that match in a third set tiebreak.

Heineken Open tournament director Richard Palmer said Ferrero had a great pedigree at the tournament and around the world."You don't get to win a Grand Slam and be number one in the world without having exceptional talent and that's just what Ferrero has. He's also had a great year winning a title and making the quarters at Wimbledon. He's extremely popular with the crowd in Auckland and knows how to play and how to entertain.".

Ferrero will play his first match on his open tomorrow against Cuevas

2009-11-02T23:30:00.002+01:00

Tomorrow will be the day.Juan Carlos Ferrero,after waiting so that his tournament started,will play tomorrow his first match on his new tournament.These last couple of days,Juan Carlos has been really busy doing exhibition tennis practices with small kids,training,going to tennis meetings....

However,lets hope tomorrow he is focused and that he plays with that high quality that he has being playing in in these last months.His match against Pablo Cuevas will be tomorrow more or less around 4:00 pm (british hour) and for sure there will be some links for the match.The best thing to do is to see if there is any link in pages such us ustream,myp2p,rojadirecta,fromsport,adthe....

Ferrero in the main draw ceremony

2009-10-31T21:28:00.004+01:00

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.

For lots of photos of the tournament and JC pictures in this Valencia Open 500,visit our media section.

2009-10-19T07:47:00.003+02:00

PD:Juan Carlos Ferrero will finally play his match of first round tomorrow wednesday against Baghdatis

Juan Carlos Ferrero should be very happy because of the nice draw he will have in the 250 open of Stockholm,where he is the third seeded player and he should win lots of points to improve ranking and try to reach de objective of beeing near to the Top 15.

This is the draw:

SODERLING, Robin [SWE, 1] vs Q
CRIVOI, Victor [ROM] vs SEPPI, Andreas [ITA]
GARCIA-LOPEZ, Guillermo [ESP] vs MARTIN, Alberto [ESP]
GREUL, Simon [GER] vs BECKER, Benjamin [GER, 6]

Q vs Q
Q vs BECK, Andreas [GER, 5]

MONTANES, Albert [ESP, 7] vs MAYER, Leonardo [ARG]

HERNYCH, Jan [CZE] vs MONACO, Juan [ARG, 4]

LOPEZ, Feliciano [ESP, 8] vs GULBIS, Ernest [LAT]
VINCIGUERRA, Andreas [SWE, WC] vs ROCHUS, Olivier [BEL]
DIMITROV, Grigor [BUL, WC] vs NIEMINEN, Jarkko [FIN]
SERRA, Florent [FRA] vs HAAS, Tommy [GER, 2]

As you can see,Juan Carlos will play in first round against Marcos Baghdatis,a difficult match as Marcos won this last week a Challenger and he nearly won Nadal weeks ago.If JC wins this match (which he shouldd),then he will have some nice matches and he should reach at least semifinals,where he will probably play against the fisrt seeded player,Robin Soderling.

JC´s match will be tomorrow,so we will know this night at whhat time his match is.

Ferrero vs Verdasco,Court 2

2009-10-06T20:39:00.002+02:00

Tomorrow,Ferrero will play his match against Fenando Verdasco in Court 2.The match will take placed around 2:00 pm (british hour) and as it is in Court 2,there is no tv coevrage so we only can watch the live scoring at the scoreboard of the ATP

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

2009-10-06T16:18:00.002+02:00

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

2009-10-05T10:16:00.003+02:00

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.

PD:There is a chinese web where probably the match of Juan Carlos will be shown.Once you go in,you only need to install a plugin which the web will provide you by a menu which will go out in the top of the page.Once yo have installed,just ckick in the center of the black square and it will start buffering and then you will be able to see tennis.Link here.

If you can not see it here,then you can find links to pages where you can see it,such as rojadirecta or myP2P

Ferrero will play the Masters of Bilbao which will take place in December

2009-10-03T10:37:00.002+02:00

In December,Ferrero will play the Masters of Bilbao,which will take place between the 11 and 13 of December,a great opportunity for him to do well in the pre-season.Last year,Juan Carlos played in the first edition of this tournament,where he reached semifinals,loosing against Robredo in a very equal and excited match.

In the edition of this year,other players which will also play in this Masters will be Verdasco,Ferrer,Robredo and Feliciano Lopez.

China Open 500

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.

Ths most important players which will play in this tournament will be (in order of ranking):
1)Nadal
2)Djokovic
3)Roddick
4)Davydenko
5)Verdasco
6)Gonzalez
8)Robredo
9)Ferrer
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.

Ferrero wil play doubles with Ferrer in Valencia

2009-09-26T11:41:00.002+02:00

This thursday became oficial that Juan Carlos Ferrero and David Ferrer will play together in doubles in the Open 500 of Valencia.As they both said,they are doing this because its a really good ocasion to play together as they will be in a very special place for them.This means that Juan Carlos will play again doubles after not playing in this category since a lot time ago.This feeling will be more or less new for Juan Carlos,as probably he hasnt played more than 30 doubles matches in his career,the last one long ago.

This weekend,both Juan Carlos and David Ferrer also met in a meeting thay had with the president of the Comunidad Valenciana (Francisco Camps) on the Valencia Club of tennis to discuss how the future tournament of Valencia was going.Everyone was amazed by the great quality level of all the players who will play in this tournament,being its first edition,which is very surprising.

Finally,Ferrero showed to everyone in his blog which will be his next three tournaments that he will play,which will be:
1)Beijing
2)Shangai
3)Estocolmo

Two days left to see Ferrero again in the Davis Cup

2009-09-16T21:04:00.002+02:00

Only two days remain to see again Juan Carlos Ferrero play in the semifinals of the Davis Cup,where Spain plays against Israel for a place in the final.Ferrero will play a really important part in this round before the final as he will be one of the two players that will play the singles,just as David Ferrer.

Remember that if in this round Spain wins,Ferrero will be really close to win again another Davis Cup.Good luck Juan Carlos!!

Ferrero will go to the Davis Cup and will go into the 21th position of the ATP ranking

2009-09-11T22:06:00.002+02:00

Finally,Juan Carlos Ferrero will take part in the Davis Cup semifinals that the Spanish team need to play against Israel.Firstly,Albert Costa told Ferrero that he was not going because he needed a player for the doubles,but he wanted that JC was prepared in case there was necesity and JC had to play in Murcia.

This has happened,as Nadal will not take part due to physical problems,although he is still playing at the US Open.In theory,as Nadal and Verdasco are both not playing,JC has high chances of playing the singles,on which we hope he can win the two points and he can be again the spanish hero of the Davis Cup.

Also,there is a very good notice.Because of the great tournament Ferrero did at the US Open,reaching 1/8 finals,he has gained 180 points which will let him improve his ranking into the 21st position and he will be at less than 100 points of the TOP 20 players,one of his aims to be at when the season finishes.

Ferrero wins against G.Simon by 1-6 6-4 7-6 1-0 ret

2009-09-07T21:45:00.004+02:00

Juan Carlos Ferrero is through to the fourth round of the US Open for the first time since his run through to the final in 2003 (l. to Roddick). The Spaniard advanced Sunday in New York at the expense of ninth-seeded Frenchman Gilles Simon, who was forced to retire with a right leg injury with Ferrero leading 1-6, 6-4, 7-6(5), 1-0.

Former World No. 1 Ferrero has staged a mighty resurgence into the upper echelons of the ATP World Tour in 2009, highlighted by ending a six-year title drought in Casablanca (d. Serra), and has now reached the fourth round at two Grand Slams in the same year for the first time since his career-best season in 2003.

The Villena resident, who was a quarter-finalist at Wimbledon two months ago (l. to Murray), peaked at No. 1 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings on 8 September 2003 – the same year he won his first major title at Roland Garros (d. Verkerk) and finished runner-up to Andy Roddick at Flushing Meadows. He dropped to No. 115 on 6 April this year – his lowest ranking in 10 years – but has since recovered his position to No. 25.

“Physically I'm completely different,” said Ferrero, in attributing his success this season. “I'm feeling great on the court, so I can play a lot of rallies as long as it is. I recovered well after matches, so that's the big difference in maybe couple of years.”

Despite a slow start for Ferrero in the first match of the day on the Louis Armstrong Stadium, the Spaniard had hit back well to take a two-set-to-one lead over Simon – who sustained his injury in the latter stages of the third set. Ferrero had broken to lead 1-0 in the fourth set when Simon was forced to concede defeat. The Frenchman has also performed well in Grand Slam competition in 2009, reaching his first quarter-final at the Australian Open (l. to Nadal) and the fourth round for the first time at Wimbledon, where he also fell victim to Ferrero.

Ferrero will play in first round of the US Open against Santoro

2009-09-01T15:49:00.002+02:00

After having a short holiday,Juan Carlos Ferrero will come back to the courts this week,at New York,where he will play the fourth grandslam of the year,the US Open.This grandslam is very important for him:

1)He needs to obtain a good result so that he has good options to be a member of the Davis Cup team which will play in september the semifinals against Israel.Ferrero needs a better result than players like Verdasco,Robredo,Ferrer...so that he can be again at the Davis Cup and why not,be again the hero of the spanish team.

2)JC again will play a granslam being a seeded player,which didnt happen since Roland Garros,where his poor ranking made him pass to Main draw with a wildcard.Also,remember that last year he didnt play at US Open,so he doesnt defend any point,so he needs a good performance to improve his ranking to the 22 position.

As an overall,JC has a nice draw,with easy matches in first and second round:

6] Del Potro vs Monaco
Melzer vs Safin
Cuevas vs Guccione
Koellerer vs [25] Fish

[24] Ferrero vs Santoro
Petzschner vs Stakhovsky
Q vs Lu
Ginemo-Traver vs [9] Simon

Gabashvili vs Levine
Istomin vs Evans
Lapentti vs [19] Wawrinka

[27] Karlovic vs Navarro
Lopez vs Dent
Capdeville vs Crivoi
Gulbis vs [2] Murray

As you can see,once more this year,Ferrero will play against Santoro,a player who he meet twice in this year,both times in grandslams (at Australian Open,where he lost to him and at Wimbledon,where he easily won the frenchmen)

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

2009-08-21T12:41:00.002+02:00

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

2009-08-12T08:32:00.002+02:00

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

2009-08-05T19:14:00.003+02:00

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

2009-08-04T08:57:00.005+02:00

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.

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

2009-06-24T18:53:00.004+02:00

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

2009-06-23T10:35:00.002+02:00

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.

Ferrero wins Malisse and will play against Darcis for a place into the semifinals

2009-06-12T07:46:00.002+02:00

Juan Carlos Ferrero won yesterday a very hard match against the belgian Xavier Malisse.In the first set,Ferrero realised how to break the belgians serve and did that to win the first serve by 6-4.In the second one,both players played large rallies and everything become solved in the tie break,where Ferrero used his good mentality to win it.

Today Ferrero plays against anothers belgian,Steve Darcis,who is very well known for always fighting all the points very hard and also for doing a very aggresive play when he is not playing well.The match will be at 12:·30 british hour and it can be seen in Eurosport or in Bet 365

Ferrero wins Mathieu and goes to third round

2009-06-11T07:55:00.003+02:00

Yesterday,Ferrero demostrated why he continues to be such a great player as he won a very difficult match against the french Paul Henri Mathieu,37 on the ranking and eleven seeded in Queens.The result of the match was 6-4 6-4.Today he will play against Xavier Malisse,which comes from the qualies but wh is doing a great tournament,showinh that grass is his best surface and that he is reallydangerous in this surface.Tha match will be more or less at 2:00 pm british hour (although the time of the start of the match will depend of the weather,as it might rain).As the match is on the Court 1,there is no tv coverage and we will have to follow it by the scoreboard of the ATP.

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

2009-06-10T10:51:00.002+02:00

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.

Good luck Juanqui!

2009-05-28T15:14:00.002+02:00

After the magnificent match Ferrero did in tuesday against the croatian Ljubicic,the organization of Roland Garros has shown his lack of respect to Juan Carlos by putting his match n the last court,where there is no tv coverage.This has happened because the organisation prefer to put in the main courts french players than matches where the good show is guaranteed.

Ferrero wins an extraordinary match against Ljubicic in 5 sets

2009-05-27T19:42:00.002+02:00

Yesterday,Ferrero showed why he is one of the most dificult players to beat in clay,especially in Roland Garros,by winning in 5 tied sets to the croatian Ivan Ljubicic.

Ferrero started de match very well,having 3 break points,but Ljubicic won them by showing his powerful serve and ended winning the first game of the match.After loosing those important points in the first game,Ferrero becamed a little bit confused and Ivan took benefit of these and did a break,which made him lead the first set by 2-0.Throughout the hole first set,Ljubicic mantained his good level and he won the first set by 6-2.

In the second set,everything changed completely.Ferrero became more secure of himself and started to do some great forehands and backhands.In the first game of the second set,Ferrero did a really important break,which maked him lead the second set by 3-1.In the first two serving games for Ferrero of the second set,he served really good,having a 92 % of first serves.Finally,Juan Carlos won the second set by 6-4

Ferrero prepares for Roland Garros

2009-05-20T18:52:00.002+02:00

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

2009-05-03T21:23:00.004+02:00

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.

2009-04-19T21:25:00.002+02:00

Juan Carlos Ferrro will play this week in the Barcelona´s Open (the Conde de Godo),a tournament which admires him because of being a champion,because of playing memorable matchs and also because of the good relationship he has with it´s director,Albert Costa.

Ferrero wins the tournament of Casablanca

2009-04-13T07:41:00.003+02:00

Juan Carlos Ferrero snapped a title drought dating back to October 2003 by defeating fifth-seeded Frenchman Florent Serra 6-4, 7-5 on Sunday in the final of the Grand Prix Hassan II in Casablanca to win the ATP World Tour 250 tennis tournament.Victory for Ferrero earns him 250 South African Airways 2009 ATP Ranking points and €71,700 in prize money

Ferrero was returning to Casablanca for the first time since making his ATP World Tour debut there as a 19 year old, when he reached the semi-finals (l. to A. Martin).
"This is a special tournament for me," said Ferrero. "Ten years ago I played my first ATP World Tour tournament here and now I'm back winning the title. I'm very happy, it was a great week for me."

Two breaks were exchanged early in the first set before Ferrero earned a decisive third break to close out a one-set lead 6-4. The players swapped two more breaks of serve in the second set before Ferrero once again made a key breakthrough in the 11th game to lead 6-5. The Villena resident then served out his first victory in three meetings with Serra after one hour and 36 minutes.

"It wasn't easy because Florent was playing very aggressively and I felt a lot of pressure," said Ferrero. "I wanted to take my chances and finally I could win which makes me very happy." "It is very important for my confidence that I won this tournament. This helps a lot coming back from an injury."

Ferrero is closing on his 400th tour-level match win. Victory in Casablanca took the Spaniard to a 396-210 record. His match record in 2009 stands at 10-5, highlighted up till now by quarter-final showings at Costa do Sauipe (l. to Bellucci) and Buenos Aires (l. to Nalbandian).

At No. 115 in the South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings, Ferrero is the lowest-ranked winner on the ATP World Tour this year. The only other player ranked outside the Top 100 to reach a final was Somdev Devvarman in Chennai (l. to Cilic)

C´mon Juan Carlos,enjoy your win and hope that you can do also another great result next week in Barcelona!!

Ferrero beats Hanescu by 6-3 7-5 and will play in semis against Andreev

2009-04-10T22:57:00.003+02:00

Today Ferrero has done a wonderful match,with a very aggresive play and with a very consistant first serve.

In the first match,once more Ferrero started witha lot of confidence and he rapidly lead in the set by 4-0.The rumanian player tried to recover by doing less unforced errors,but Ferrero saw his new tactic and he started to move Hanescu around all the court,varying widely his shots.Finally,he served perfectly to win the first serve by 6-3

In the second serve,everything changed and Hanescu gained confidence and played a more serius tennis than before.Ferrero was the one that was always leading the point,but when he had a break point,the rumanian served powerfully and then he won the game.This all changed when they where 6-5,serving Hanescu.He was winning by 40-15 and was very near to force a tie break,but Ferrero put pressure on him and forced de deuce,where he played confidently and with a forehand winner he reached and advantage and finally he won thefinal game by doing a wonderful deep forehand that Hanescu couldn´t return back.

His next opponent will be Andreev,who has won easily to Gicquel in less than an hour.He is currently in the Top 30 and he has done an irregular tournament,as he nearly lost in first round but since then,he has done good matches.He most dangerous shots are the forehand (which is very deep) and his first serve.Hope tomorrow he continues with his irregularity and that Ferrero plays like today,with lots of confidence and with a powerful forehand.

The match will be more or less at about 5:00 pm(spanish hour,it will be more or less at 4:00 pm in british hour).The match can be followed in BET365).

C´mon Ferrero!!!

Ferrero beats Starace by 6-4 7-6 and will play quarterfinals against Hanescu

2009-04-09T17:58:00.003+02:00

Ferrero´s match will be tomorrow more or less at 2:30pm (british hour,spanish hour will be at 3:30 pm).You can see the match by BET365

Yesterday Ferrero did once more a great match with a great and deep forehand and won a very complicated match against Starace.

In te first set,Juan Carlos did a perfect start,winning two breaks points and leading by 4-0.However,the itaian player waked up and played very aggresively,making Ferrero loss control of the game until he equalised the set 4-4.At this point the match once more changed,as Ferrero started dong some great forehand winners and serving with first serves,by which he won the first set.

Th secong set started badly for Ferrero,as Starace was putting lots of pressure on JC and he had chances to do break,but Ferrero succesfully stayed in the set and got some confidence.Finally,both players forced to get to the tie break,where it seemed that Starace had more confidence than Ferrero after doing a break.However he only won one point,the first one.Ferrero kept in the baseline and the italian player made lots of uforced errors,which Ferrero took benefit of and won the tie break by 7-1.

His next opponent will be Hanescu,who won easily his match against the spanish Navarro by 6-1 6-0.The most important things that makes Hanescu win matches is his powerful serve and also his backhand (mostly when he has confidence,as he can do impossible shots when he has confidence and motivation).

We will know at which time the match is later,when the schedule is released by the ATP.

Ferrero wins against Rochus and will play in second round against Starace

2009-04-07T20:07:00.004+02:00

Today Ferrero has won Christophe Rochus by 6-2 6-3 in a easy match on which has won in 1 hour.He has served really well (doing 9 aces with only one double fault and winning more than 70% of his serves).n the match he has done 5 break points,which is a really great thing to do against the 61 ranked player of the ATP.

His next opponent is position 90 of the ATP rankings,the italian Potito Starace.In the Head-to-Head,Ferrero has won 3 matches against the italian and has only lost one,two years go in Rome.In all their matches there has been lots of equality as in most of them there has been 3 sets played.

Ferrero´s match will be around 18:15 (spanish hour,check your timezone in xscores) due to the long matches there have been played before Ferrero´s one and it will be played in centre court,so we will be able to watch the match in BET365

Herer there is a video on which you can see how is the style of play of Starace.

We now know at which hour Ferrero´s match will be.

2009-04-07T07:54:00.002+02:00

Juan Carlos first match will be more or less at 3:00 pm spanish hour,2:00 pm in British hour (you can check the hour for your country here,pressing in time zone) and it will be played in Court 2,as the organization has moved all the matches involving national players to Court 1.As it is in Court 2,there is no tv live coverage,so we will need to follow the scores in the live scores of the ATP.

Good luck Juan Carlos!!

Analysis of Christophe Rochus,opponent of Ferrero in first round

2009-04-06T19:22:00.002+02:00

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.

Ferrero obtains a WC for the Open 500 of Barcelona

2009-04-01T19:00:00.003+02:00

Juan Carlos Ferrero has been awarded with a WildCard for the Barcelona Open 500 that will start in the 16th of April.Ferrero asked for the Wild Card and the tournament inmediatly told him that he could count on it,which shows how much respect the Barcelona´s Open has on Ferrero,specially Albert Costa,which in a interview said ("“We all know how important Juan Carlos is to Spanish tennis. Due to niggling injuries in recent months at unfortunate times, his ranking has dropped to a point where he could not gain direct entry to the draw but nobody considers his real level to equate to his current ranking").

Another news about Ferrero´s next tournamentsis that he has claimed for a WC in Estoril,where hi has high chances of getting it as he once won that tournament.

Hope Ferrero´s hard work can be seen in Casablanca,where hi has really high chances of getting a great result.

Ferrero starts the training on court and prepares for Casablanca

2009-03-16T11:22:00.002+01:00

As you will know,Ferrero is in Spain,training again to reach the high level at which he was playing in South America,on which he reached 2 quarter finals.By what he says in his blog,the injury he had in Acapulco and that didn´t let him play in Indian Wells is now cured,which means that he has now a bit less than a month to train hard,to get a good fitness level so that he gains lots of points in Casablanca,where he has high posibilities of getting a great result.

Yesterday,it became official that Ferrero and David Ferrer have reached an agreement on which they will both share the management of the tennis tournament that will be played in Valencia in November.This agreement makes them be the only two active players in the world which are in charge of a tournament.

Ferrero improves his ranking in one position and might not play in Indian Wells

2009-03-03T18:52:00.002+01:00

Eventhough Ferrero didn´t play last week in Acapulco because of his injury,he has improved his ranking by one position and he is now on the 85th position.

In theory,the next tournament he will play will be Indian Wells,but he might not play it as he is still not trainig at a high level and,as he said in his blog,he will only go if he is at 100%.

Lets hope he recover and he comes back at a similar level as he played in the Costa du Sauipen and Buenos Aires,so that he continues improving his ranking.

Ferrero´s ranking goes up,and now he is is the 86th position!

2009-03-01T15:52:00.002+01:00

Well, the good results of Juan Carlos in the South American tour have made him go up in the ranking to position 86, which is a good start for the season.This improvement in the ranking has been possible because of the great results he has achieved in the last weeks,reaching quaterfinals in two consecutive tournaments.

His next tournament will be Indian Wells, where he defends many points (150).As it wiil be hard for him to defend so many points,he will probably be in the draw of Casablanca,so that he can obtain more points and improve his ranking.

Lets all hope Ferrero recovers from the injury he suffered in his match against Nalbandian so that he does great matches in Indian Wells,and hopefully,improve his result from last year.
