Ferrero will finally not play at the National Masters of Sevilla

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!

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:

1)Ferrer
2)Isner
3)Montañes
4)Monaco
5)Nalbandian
6)Ferrero

Another important news we have is that JC and David Ferrer will play a exhibition match at the tennis centre where Juan Carlos started playing tennis  (Club de tenis Helios) and will be played the 12th of December at 11:00 am. 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!

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

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

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

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

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!
