David Ferrer exhibits his best tennis to appeal to Paire (6-3, 6-3, 6-2)
The Spanish David Ferrer is already in the next round of Roland Garros after eliminating the French Benoit Paire in three sets (6-3, 6-3, 6-2).
'Ferru' has shown in this match his best qualities, with a solid tennis to the rest (he has starred in up to five consecutive breaks between the first and second set) and a good ability to move his opponent throughout the track. Paire has desperately finished the clash after checking how the Spanish played with him at will, especially at the end of the first round.
In the second, the Frenchman has managed to recover, but has alternated good shots with unexplained failures. Good proof of this has been the 50 unforced errors that he has had throughout the crash, by the 14 of Ferrer. His insistence and perseverance have been key to winning.
(5-2) Break that tastes like match. Ferrer begins to like himself and plays with Paire at will, moving him across the track until he hits the final blow. Incredible performance.
(4-2) Ferrer brushes the game blank. Only a double foul has prevented it. We have seen David's 'atomic' version again, with several careers that have left Paire on the site. It is indefatigable.
(3-2) Paire returns the 'rosco'. Well, there is no reason to worry. Let's say French has been successful and little else. They are circumstances of the game.
(3-1) Blank game for David Ferrer. The Frenchman begins to pay the consequences of his dismissals. In this game he has been absent. Good for 'Ferru'.
(2-1) Ferrer breaks the serve. And Paire despairs. How weird is playing now. Try to do complicated things, especially in the left, but then, before the reaction 'Ferru', does not move a muscle to defend itself …
(1-1) Ferrer maintains the initiative. Pylon hammer with a racket in hand. It is unavailable to discouragement. Magnificent.
(1-0) Paire defends himself. Start sending with your serve. He wants to force a long game. We'll see if the French gets it.
The indefatigable Ferrer points the second set (6-3)
Identical marker than in the first set, but different sensations. We have seen in this manga a much more plugged and risky Paire (even at the cost of being wrong) that has been answered by the more regular version of Ferrer. The Spaniard is embroidering tennis and its concentration. It is still your best weapon.
(5-3) Well Paire now. He is starting to improve his style, but Ferrer does not despair. He insists again and again on his tennis. Its regularity is spectacular. If it stays that way, it will take the set with its serve in favor.
(5-2) Ferrer does not deviate from the course. Magnificent the concentration of 'La termite', impeccable as always. Keep keeping your serve and sending on the scoreboard.
(4-2) Paire finally breathes. He has taken confidence and has dared with several risky blows that have left Ferrer with the mold. It may recover competitiveness and put Spanish in trouble. We will see.
(4-1) Suffering game for Ferrer. He has had to squeeze more than normal, but the Alicante has managed to take the game after an eternal exchange in which Paire has not been able to endure the rhythm of Spanish. It's what you have to play against a top 10: physics and patience also count
(3-1) Paire stops the bleeding. But he still leaves weird gestures, strange protests and exaggerated fuss that prove he is nervous. Ferrer, if he squeezes, can take advantage of his mental weakness.
(3-0) Ferrer is his only enemy. The Spanish has won another game giving only one point, for a double foul. Such is Paire's despair, that we have seen him scream like a condemned at the end of the game. He is very nervous.
(2-0) Ferrer is unstoppable. We are with a partial of 7-1 for the Spanish with five consecutive breaks. Paire is on his way to despair. Bad business for the show, good for Ferrer.
(1-0) Ferrer saves the serve with controversy. He has managed to avoid two break balls of Paire, who has strongly protested a ball that the chair judge has given him as bad. That decision has just demoralized it.
Ferrer takes a set full of breaks (6-4)
The world of tennis, upside down. Ferrer has won (so far the logical thing) the first set, but he has done it with four breaks, while his opponent has inflicted two, something unusual in the world of tennis. It doesn't matter: Spanish rules and that's the important thing.
(5-3) Paire awakens. He has taken advantage of his third break ball to confirm a break achieved in a big way: great parallel of the French. Ferrer is still calm. The set still seems in his hands.
(5-2) Paire has disconnected. Ferrer's third consecutive break. It seemed that the duel was going to be more complicated than it is. Take out the Spanish now to close the set. By the way, David only carries four errors not forced by 19 of the Frenchman.
(4-2) Blank game to confirm the streak. Ferrer already looks safe on the court and is getting his tennis embroidered, just without mistakes.
(3-2) The reverse gives the break to Ferrer. Magnificent now the Alicante with his fetish blow. His gesture allows us to break the French service again. The trend is positive.
(2-2) Perfect Ferrer. Confirmed: this is our David, the intense and fast leg we know. Great game got now. Everything is back in order.
(1-2) Well, Ferrer's counterbreak! The Spanish has played a magnificent game (hopefully too) that has allowed him to return the break to his rival. If he manages to keep the serve, he will have greatly minimized the effects of the previous surprise.
(0-2) Break surprise of Paire !! Note that the Frenchman begins by breaking the service of a somewhat warm Ferrer at the start of the game. We hope that the Alicante can recover his fast serve.
(0-1) Paire rules backwards. Magnificent Frenchman in this luck where, for now, he is beating David Ferrer.
Start the match !!
Start the Benoit Paire service. The number 1 track in Paris, where this game is being played, goes, logically, with the French player. Ferrer will play with the public against.
