(17) DAVID FERRER

PRE-TOURNAMENT ODDS: 200/1
NATIONALITY: SPA
BIRTH DATE: 02/04/82
BECAME PRO: 2000
WORLD RANKING: 15
VERDICT
Another claycourt expert who has branched out to other surfaces in recent years. That even included grass in 2006, with Ferrer surprising many with his run to the last 16 here. A fine season so far suggests a repeat performance could be on the cards. Ferrer has already won one title (in Auckland) and has also been racking up wins during the clay campaign. The slower courts at Wimbledon these days aid Ferrer's baseline game, so don't simply draw the Spaniard = early exit conclusion.
