Shanghai Preview:
Juan Carlos Ferrero
Juan Carlos Ferrero can win in China - he proved that earlier this year when he defeated Carlos Moya to capture the title in Hong Kong, his second win of 2002. But now, in Shanghai, the fiery Spaniard will be aiming for the biggest win of his career, a triumph at the Tennis Masters Cup.
Age: 22
Birthplace: Onteniente, Spain
Residence: Villena, Spain
Height: 6'0" (1.83m)
Weight: 160 (72kg)
Turned Pro: 1998
Career Titles: 7
2002 Titles: 2
2002 Win/Loss: 45-23
Career Win/Loss: 164-78
Over the last two years, the 22-year-old Ferrero has firmly established himself as the No. 1 player in Spain, no small feat in a nation that has become one the sport's greatest powerhouses. In 2001, after capturing four titles including his first Tennis Masters Series shield in Roma and reaching the semifinals at Roland Garros and the Tennis Masters Cup in Sydney, he surged to a year-end ranking of No. 5. He has followed up on these successes this year, and currently stands fourth in the 2002 Champions Race.
Ferrero got off to a slow start in 2002, withdrawing from the Australian Open with a knee injury and then starting out with just a 7-8 record. But he turned things around in a hurry at the Tennis Masters Monte Carlo, notching wins over Tommy Haas, Sebastien Grosjean and Moya to seize his second Masters Series title. Though he subsequently lost three of his next five matches, he again regained his momentum at Roland Garros, toppling Andre Agassi and Marat Safin before falling to countryman Albert Costa in his first Grand Slam final.
In addition to the Hong Kong win in September, Ferrero's other 2002 highlights include an appearance in the final at Kitzbuhel, where he fell to yet another fellow Spaniard Alex Corretja, and semifinal showings at the Tennis Masters Series event in Cincinnati (l. to Moya) and Basel (l. to Gonzalez).
Despite his success this year, the man known as "El Mosquito" had to wait until the final week of the regular season, at last week's BNP Paribas Masters, to book his ticket to Shanghai. Though he fell to Paradorn Srichaphan in the second round, Ferrero qualified the following day with Tim Henman's loss.
