Impressive from Ferrero. He served well, and was very aggressive in the parts of the match I saw.

I thought it would be much closer than this. Well done.

Juanqui is back. I predict a top 15 finish this year, just watch.

Ferrero was very impressive. Great forehand, backhand, movement and serving. I really wonder, why he cannot play like this more often? If he did he would be back in the top ten.

Good job, JC!! :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
I'm so happy he won in straight sets and revenged on Kiwi after the 2006 loss in AO!

JCF!!!!

Word has it from JCF's forum that one of Kiwi's supporters got out of hand early in the 3rd and had to be removed for shouting Juan Carlos was going to lose the game/match. Well, Juanqui went on to win that game, the set, and the match pretty convincingly.

Well start Juanqui!

Let's have a good run here....

Just doesn't have the confidence.

Nice win. :rocker2:

Especially sweet that it's over Kiefer.

Epic win. Forehand was devilish. Serve was monstrous. Return was authoritative. Backhand a bit flat, but good enough. The perfect start to the season. He's got an easy opponent in the next round. But after that things become nightmarish. Nalbandian, Ferrer, Djokovic all potentially in a row. But I think he can do it. I believe in him.

I believe in him too after that performance! He was on fire. I don't remember the last time he backed up his serve that well in a GS match - perhaps that set against Blake at Wimbledon when he didn't lose one point on serve. I really favored Kiefer in this match, especially remembering their 2006 encounter, so this is a great great surprise.

I'd love to see him upset Nalby, Ferrer, Djokovic...

The haircut was all he needec, maybe? He certainly looks more like his 2003 self, aesthetically.

 

[Seneca]

Whoa, never saw this one coming.

A quality match and lots of great, balanced backcourt play from Ferrero.

 

[I♥[email protected]!c]

Nice win even though I lost the bet!

 

[Adler]

This Ferrero played insanely well at times. Forehand and backhand are back?

 

[yomike]

Better than I expected. Well I actually thought he was gonna lose. Well Done JC

 

[Sunset of Age]

Good job, Juanqui!!!

 

[mdjenders]

awesome result

 

[Andre♥]

Probably his best performance outside clay since Cincinnati 2006.

Especially at the end of the second set. Wow. Kiefer never had a chance, besides 2bp at 4:5* in the first set.

 

[RonE]

Wow! Straight sets against the Kiwi. Mighty impressive
