[jakemcclain32]

Ferrer's time is passing. He's getting older, he's redlining, and the intensity he's put up the past 12-13 years is taking a toll. He MIGHT have one more WTF in him.

But credit goes to the guy. He just keeps fighting and fighting, and he really could steal a 500 title here

 

[Marty Cintron]

What's about Dolgopolov?
Good match against Dimitrov at Wimbly. He should have won it!

Ferrer in imperious form.

When he's on barring the "big 3" he can beat anyone.

Now the kid gets a type of player you can't prepare for, and you'll never see in the challengers.
