David Ferrer has made an impressive start to this year’s French Open, and has made it through to round three without even coming close to losing a set. The Spaniard is living up to his billing as a potential challenger for this year’s title, though he’s going to need to play out of his skin in order to defy the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Ferrer’s next match will be a third round showdown against Sergiy Stakhovsky of the Ukraine. Stakhovsky has worked his way into the third round by winning both of his first two matches in four sets, and he’ll need to produce another big effort in order to stave off a thrashing from Ferrer.

Ferrer takes a 2-0 head to head record against the world No. 36 into this match. Ferrer’s most recent victory against Stakhovsky occurred this season at the Madrid Masters, and this should give him the psychological edge. Whilst Stakhovsky has the ability to make things difficult for Ferrer, this is a match that the Spaniard should be able to win.
