19:11 : A terrible smash which is framed out of court and Ferrero is disgusted. At the changeover, CORRETJA 3-4, the young Spaniard holds his head in his towel

Ferrero will surely reach the final stages of Roland Garros on this form

18:24 : Ferrero breaks Corretja's serve on his first opportunity at just the right time in the match... 5-4
18:20 : This set is of real high standards, in play and sportsmanship, in quality and desire. Neither want to lose and Corretja wants to prove a point to this year's "King on Clay" Juan-Carlos Ferrero... they hold their serves and it's 4-4, with another keenly contested game to come
