Casablanca SFs


The semifinal matches began yesterday at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Morocco. And the four semifinalists were the first seed, Igor Andreev, the third seed, Albert Montanes, the fifth seed, Florent Serra, and unseeded, Juan Carlos Ferrero. The first match was between unseeded Juan Carlos Ferrero and the first seed, Igor Andreev. It was difficult to say who was going to win the first set because it was very tight. But Juan Carlos edged Andreev in a tiebreak, 11-9. And the momentum stayed with Ferrero until he closed out the match, 76(9) 63.

The other semifinal was a bit of a surprise. I was expecting Ferrero's opponent in the final to be Albert MontaƱes because he did pretty well on the clay last year and he took a set from Federer at Roland Garros. But Florent Serra has been coming out of his shell and proving himself as a threat. And he kept the good tennis coming with a straight set win over MontaƱes, 64 64.

Who I Want to Win: Juan Carlos Ferrero
Who I Think Will Win: Juan Carlos Ferrero
