Its a frustrating thing to be a fan of Juan Carlos Ferrero these days. I've wanted to write that since yesterday but time didn't allow for a blog entry. I was lucky enough to find a live feed of his match against Nishikori. Its just so difficult to watch him have moments of the player he was 5-10 years ago but just not enough of those moments...have to wonder how much longer Ferrero will be playing. Arnaud Clement and Fernando Gonzalez are each making this year their last. Might be Tommy Haas's last year. Just wonder if Ferrero is right there.
And a retirement is always sad to end a match but I can't deny a sigh of relief that Montanes retired against Gonzo.
As for today, Karol Beck won his match against Mathieu in Marseille!!! That makes me so happy for this guy. He needs a break.
