Ferrero ready to spoil Murray's rise

Surging Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero will have revenge in mind after reaching a third-round showdown with Scotland's world number three Andy Murray at the ATP Montreal Masters yesterday.

Former world number one and Roland Garros champion Ferrero, his career again taking flight at age 29, will face Murray for the third time since June and will hope to reverse his fortunes after two defeats.


Ferrero felled French 13th seed Gael Monfils 6-3, 7-6 (9/7) to notch his 30th victory of the season.





"Playing Murray means that I'm playing well," said Ferrero. "It's going to be very tough. but I want this win.

He's very experienced in these kind of matches but I learned some things at the match at Wimbledon, so I will try to get better in the next one."

The fate of Murray's run towards the number two ATP ranking could be in the hands of the veteran. Murray needs to surpass the performance this week of Rafael Nadal to take over the second spot behind Switzerland's Roger Federer from the four-time French Open winner.
