But, after that, Anderson’s performance deteriorated all of a sudden and he played some very poor shots. Ferrer won the next four games in a row to win the second set as well. In the third set, Anderson fought very hard.  He didn’t let Ferrer get even a single breakthrough in the third set and held his entire serves to take the set into the tie breaker. However, the South African player didn’t show resistance in the tie breaker and lost the match.

In the post match interview, Ferrer praised Anderson. The Spaniard said that Anderson is an extremely talented player and he brings a lot of power in his service. It was pretty tough to play against him. As per Ferrer, he wants to win this tournament and prove that he doesn’t need a specific kind of surface to perform well. He can play high quality tennis on any kind of surface. In the second round, Ferrer will play against Igor Sijsling of Netherlands.
