Juan Carlos Ferrero made a small surprise winning David Nalbandian. His form seems to be better for a long time and this is what he says about it himself “I'm playing good tennis since, I don't know, two months, something like this. I practice so hard in December. Last week I played good. At the end of the last year I played good matches against top players. I came playing well.”

His opponent, David Ferrer hasn’t faced yet a serious opponent. Easy wins so far without losing a set. Their previous meetings are 4-1 for Ferrer. All threesetters expect latestone on the clay. During last year’s end David Ferrer took huge steps forward playing on the faster surfaces and when this surface isn’t the fastest it should be good for Ferrer. Even Ferrero plays well, should Ferrer play much better tennis compared to their previous meetings. Both players playing behind the baseline and I think for Ferrer the hardest players are who are using much force. He can go easily to errors and possibility this time too. Both players know eachothers well and are friends but I think Ferrero might have problems against Ferrer’s style. Ferrero isn’t on the level he was on his topdays and since 2005 he is against other spanish players who are in top-50 6-16 record (3-5 on the hard surface). Spanish players have some similarities in their gamestyles but of course everybody aren’t the same and different rankings. Ferrer is 16-14 (9-4 on the hard). Both players should be in good form but if other has more tiredness it’s likely Ferrero who was in the final at Auckland last week playing now his 9th. game in 13 days while Ferrer playing his sixth game in same time but both players has had easy games so far and tiredness shouldn’t be a factor.
