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

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!

Only two days left to see Ferrero again on court

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.
