22 Jurgen Melzer d 9 David Ferrer - 64 60 76(1) - 3rd Round
Playing in his 33rd Slam Jurgen finally advances to his first 4th round.
This was his 4th trip to the 3rd round at Roland Garros.
He will fancy his chances against the qualifier Gabashvili in the next round.

Let's discuss Ferrer... Um, you over-played dude - end of story.
He's gone to the semis or better in the last 4 clay events.
On European clay he is 18-4. Throw in South America and it's 27-5.
With proper scheduling he would have been a factor here but ran out of gas.
Get some rest.
By the way, the exact can be said of Verdasco.
