David Ferrer Wins in 3 Sets in 2nd Round at Portugal Open

Portugal Open ATP 250 - 2nd Round

1/WC David Ferrer d Edouard Roger-Vasselin - 64 46 63

I dunno know... I hate when top players play the week before big tournies.

We are headed to Madrid-Rome back-to-back starting next week...

A deep run here (as he should) will most likely hurt his chances at M-R.

I get that he's trying to protect his #4 ranking... But at what cost?

Anyway, I'm glad he's in Portugal for the wind-surfing photos!
