David Ferrer

David Ferrer of Spain returns a shot to Novak Djokovic of Serbia during the men's semi-final match at the US Open Tennis Championship, 08 September 2007, at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. David Ferrer is not best known as a hard court player but still has the ability to cause problems for top seeds on any grand slam surface. The Spaniard has reached the US Open semifinals once during his career, and will be looking to repeat this feat at Flushing Meadows in 2010 .

David Ferrer Biography

David Ferrer was born Xávia, Spain in 1982. At the age of 13 his abilities in tennis merited a move to the Spanish tennis hotbed of Barcelona where the young Ferrer attended the Catalan tennis federation. He later moved to Juan Carlos Ferrero's tennis academy before returning to his home town.

David Ferrer joined the ATP circuit in 2001, playing in ATP tournaments whilst continuing his involvement in Challenger events. During this early period of his career he shone on clay, taking 34 of his 35 Challenger wins on the surface. Ferrer won his first ATP title in 2002 in Bucharest.

David Ferrer Playing Style

Like many players trained on clay, David Ferrer possesses an excellent top-spin forehand. He is a good all-round player who is capable of both precision and power. His major weakness is an indifferent serve.

David Ferrer Achievements

David Ferrer is first and foremost a clay-court player, and has claimed the majority of his titles on this surface. However, the Spaniard has been handy on hard courts too, winning several ATP 500 series titles on this surface. Ferrer has not shone in Grand Slams, and recorded his best Grand Slam performance in 2007, reaching the semifinals of the US Open.

David Ferrer US Open Form

David Ferrer has been in decent enough form in 2010, taking a single ATP Tour title and reaching the final of Rome Masters before losing to Rafael Nadal. While he's not a genuine title contender, he'll be worth a couple of back bets before the fourth round of the 2010 US Open.
