WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID:
Ferrero: "I was leading the ATP Champions Race the week after Roland Garros, so this is the second time now. It’s a great feeling to be where I wanted to be. I still feel like the same player that I was before I won Roland Garros.
I think that I can play well on both hard courts and clay courts. I proved that last year, playing in final of the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai, winning an ATP event in Hong Kong and playing some good tournaments, like the semifinals in Cincinnati or the quarterfinals in Madrid. I’m not only able to play on clay courts like some say. Finishing this year as a No. 1? Why not? I just have to play consistent tennis."
