i think he can. He just needs to stay calm.

It looks like they offered him a wild card. I doubt he will actually play.

Not one of his strengths, sadly.

You can see Fognini is running out of ideas. Ferrer is not letting him breathe.

It's quite amusing the traits nations have when it come to tennis.

Spaniards are resilient, consistent, hard workers, not very creative. Italians are usually creative, inconsistent, talented, hot tempered. Americans are all about big weapons (serve and FHs essentially), French are all about method coupled with flair, etc.....

As Goodall said, ferrer mastered the art of playing aggressive tennis while giving himself lots of margins.

Not easy to do...it requires amazing fitness.

What about the Swiss?

I would be tempted to say classy tennis (mixture between German and French tennis but 2 players at the top might not be enough to draw conclusions. However Knowing a bit about the Swiss, I'd say yes....neat, efficient and crafty...like their watches.
