Nationality SPA
Pre-Tournament Odds 250/1
Became Pro 2000
Seeding 5
World Ranking 5
Best known for his claycourt skills, Ferrer is now a consistent player on most surfaces. Has already reached two Grand Slam quarter-finals this year. Getting to another here would be a decent achievement for the Spaniard who looks destined to live in Rafael Nadal's shadow. After a good clay season, Ferrer has already made a great adjustment to the grass by winning in Holland. Steps up in class here though.
