As the fourth seed here, Ferrer will be looking to build upon this and mount a serious title challenge. Whilst his sights will be set on the ATP World Tour Finals at the end of the month, the Spaniard will still have ambitions of succeeding this week as well.
His next contest will be a third round showdown against fourteenth seed Alexandr Dolgopolov. Dolgopolov edged out a close second set against Philipp Kohlschreiber to earn a berth in round three (6-3, 7-6(7)). This is Dolgopolov’s first year at this event, and he seems to have had little difficulty in getting used to the playing surface here.
Dolgopolov won his most recent matchup against Ferrer in three sets, though overall he trails 1-3 in their head to head record. This could turn out to be a close-fought match, with Ferrer perhaps standing out as a slight favourite. Any meeting between this pairing promises to provide plenty of excitement, and it will be intriguing to see who prevails on Thursday.
