From TENNIS magazine: USOPEN PREVIEW 2002

pg. 40,43.

Ferrero, 22, crept quietly into the world's No. 5 position for 2001. And on hard courts, the French Open finalist from Villena, Spain, must be taken more seriously than other clay-court specialists (see Costa or Alex Corretja). The Mosquito has sting in his strokes, plus an improved serve that promises to be the foundation of a dangerous hard-court game. "Ferrero moves really well," Agassi says, "so he's always looking to play offense. He hits his forehand big, the backhand is solid, and his heavy first serve gets him the lead in a lot of points."

"Of the Spanish players, he's the best equipped for hard courts. But New York doesn't seem like his kinda town." !LOL!
