Ferrer: 'Beating Nadal almost impossible'
Although he has reached his first Roland Garros semifinal, world No. 6 David Ferrer is lacking confidence against Rafael Nadal, his upcoming opponent. Six-time French Open champion Nadal owns a 15-4 record against his fellow Spaniard and is 12-1 against him on clay; his only loss was in their first meeting at Stuttgart, in 2004. Nadal has beaten Ferrer twice this year: In the final of Barcelona (7-6 (1), 7-5), and in the semis of Rome (7-6 (6), 6-0).
"Rafa improves every time," Ferrer said. "His serve is huge; he's improved on all his shots. He's left-handed, so it's very difficult to return his serves. Rafa knows it. He has a very high percentage of first serves, especially when he's down. Then he serves an exceptional service and wins a tremendous number of points. Each match is different. In [Barcelona], I had to be slightly more aggressive and I made mistakes. In Rome it was different, because I had opportunities to win a set, but he played extremely well. I tried. I think you can win a set to Rafa, but there is a difference between winning a set and winning a match. Winning a match against Rafa is almost impossible. He is in such good shape."

Ik snap dat het reëel is wat Ferrer zegt hoor, maar dit lijkt al bij voorbaat geen wedstrijd te gaan worden.
