What a surprise in Valencia! The title seemed to be up for grab for David Ferrer, but Mikhail was definitely of a different opinion. The unseeded Russian had an amazing start to grab an astonishing 5-1 lead in the opening set to win 6-3. In...

The tournaments in Basel and Valencia didn’t change anything in the top 10, but they helped a couple of interesting players to reach a career high. Janowicz Jerzy didn’t really shine in Valencia, but reaching the quarters (defeated by Ferrer) helped him to reach a career...

David Ferrer is 1 step away from defending his title in Valencia! The world no.3 won in great fashion the semifinal by conceding only 5 games to the world no.13 . The first set was rather smooth as David made some distance by breaking Nicolas...
