David Ferrer Fights Against His Luck

In the Australian Open this year David Ferrer is being considered as an unlucky player.


He is a great player, but being one of the big four in the top numbers is tough and that is what makes it difficult for him to win a well deserved title. Many feel that if he had been born at a different time he would probably have won a few Grand Slam titles by now. However, with the big four names who are his contemporaries, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, it has been difficult for him. The loss that he had last Wednesday in the quarterfinals stands testimony for that.

He has been deterred by injury as well as other issues that have been out of the game. However, though he has been able to claim titles and victories that could have been his, the hard work that he puts in his games do not go unnoticed. The Spaniard was unable to go through to the semi finals. He lost out to Andy Murray who is now second seeded in the world titles. However, among the best players in Grand Slam he has been among the top 16. He even reached the finals, which makes it commendable for him, the way he has stuck around and persevered.

It has definitely been harder for him, having to contend with the big names in tennis like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and others. He is a great player and a versatile one. He is especially good on clay courts. As a result, he has reached the quarter finals in many clay courts based tournaments like French Open. His efforts continue to be present and fans do hope that he will break through and find his claim to fame soon.
