Sadly, some people still think that every player with the "ESP" tag is a clay-courter, even if some of them have reached semifinals at HC Slams, unlike most of those called hard-court specialists

 

[Ad Wim]

Re: Auckland Entry List (updated November 29, 2011)

Well, it is true that these guys are pure clay courters. Ferrer and Verdasco can do damage on a HC, but much more on clay.

Nevertheless, doesn't mean that they can't play on HC in preparation for AO.
