He appears to be peaking so I'm going to say yes, the FO.

Nadal won't even play 5 games this year :spit:

maybe he can reach the F in RG but he needs rafa out, and avoide meeting fed or nole in the SF

Yep, unlikely but not impossible.

How Ferrer could then win RG? If Rafa isn't fully fit and has an early exit plus Nole loses to Tsonga and Fed to Berdy. Then the route is open for Ferru to win RG.

I wouldn't be surprised if he made the AO final actually. But he won't win it.

I'd say he has a slight shot at any but Wimby but he had to choke to avoid the final there last year, so I suppose he has a shot at all of them (Fun fact: 2 years in a row Ferrer had SP in the late stages of a Slam to go up 2 sets to love on Murray and failed)

He could always win one if the top 4 are off their game or he's on fire, but even then he generally chokes. If he stops that, there's a decent chance

He could have a very good chance at the French Open, but ONLY if he doesn't meet Federer. He has a great H2H record against Novak on clay (I believe he is winning that matchup) and he has never lost to Murray IIRC on clay, so if he draws either of them, he still has a very good shot.

Rafa will be hell either way, but considerING he has defeated Rafa in the past and has been able to really push Rafa in the past on clay, I think if he draws Rafa he has a respectable chance to pull the upset considering Rafa's return to the game.

However, Federer will still be Ferrer's biggest nightmare. I mean he has never defeated Roger and has barely taken a couple sets off him, and they have played on clay as well..

No I think he will not -because he doesnt have weapons to defeat Djokovic and Federer.

At least he didnt have them until now.

I agree with you. I think he'll be able to be on the last rounds of some Grand Slams this year, for sure be in the ATP World Tour Finals, but I don't see Ferrer winning any Slam. He deserves one title like this, Ferrer is a player that trains a lot and puts lot of effort practicing every day, he is a hard worker and more aggressive than Nadal and other clay baseline players (for this reason he is able to win lot of matches on hard and grass courts). However, as cveks says, Ferrer has lot of consistency: he keeps himself at high level all the year and he plays a serious tennis from the baseline. This helps him in order to win most of the players that are on the tour (including exceptional players like Berdych, Tsonga, Del Potro, etc.). But I don't see him beating Djokovic or Federer (and Murray if they play on grass or hard) in Grand Slam tournaments. He can upset some of this players, but not in a Grand Slam final.

Maybe Ferrer will win some clay Masters 1000 tournament this year. He deserves it. More than a Masters 1000 title? We will see. I'm stating my opinion thinking about the level that Ferrer showed last year. He has played well on Abu Dhabi, Doha and Auckland.
