Nadal Draws Ferrero in First Round

The most eye-catching of the first round matches features Spanish teenage sensation Rafael Nadal against former World No.1 Juan Carlos Ferrero. The two have never met before. Nadal, who plays World No.1 Roger Federer in the final of the NASDAQ-100 Open on Sunday, has already claimed two titles this year (Costa do Sauipe, Acapulco), both on clay.
