One of the most enticing first round matchups at the Rogers Cup has Lleyton Hewitt vs Juan Carlos Ferrero. Both of these players are former #1s. Hewitt is a former Slam winner on hard courts, Ferrero a former Slam runner up on hard courts.
Ferrero had a very impressive Wimbledon, on what most consider his worst surface, but has had dissapointing losses in his last 2 tournaments on clay. Hewitt's play has showed some promising signs and hints of a resurgence, yet he cant quite break through, or even get back in the top 10.
Hewitt leads their head to head 5-3. 2 of Ferrero's 3 wins are on clay. They have played 5 times on hard courts, and Hewitt has won 4 of the 5. Ferrero's only win was at the U.S Open in the quarters in 2003, where Ferrero made it all the way to the final. They havent played since early in 2004, a tough 3 set win for Hewitt in a hard court final of Rotterdam.
