Tomorrow Juan Carlos Ferrero is playing again and David is playing his second round match too against Massu on Grand stand. This should be a great match so vamooooos David we know you are a fighter on the tennis court.

Juan Carlos will be playing first on the Center Court with Potito Starace from Italy. In Umag there are always a lot of italian tennis fans since is so close to Italy but Juan Carlos Ferrero is popular everywhere he plays due to his amazing persona. And let's not forget he is a former number 1 tennis player in the world and a grand slam winner. I am expecting a good match but I think Juan Carlos should win.
