Game preview : Welcome to R16 Montreal Master ATP event and we have a very nice day for tennis, the most interesting match is yet to come and it will be historic fight once more. First let’s talk about this round, players gets 58,395 $ prize for being in this round and 90 points( Same like winning one challenger tournament). Masters is always richer with prizes, so a lot of players enjoy it more. So today in our historic match will meet two old friends and players, who know each other very well. Roger Federer and David Ferrer will meet for 18 time in history on ATP tour, Spaniard will try to win first time against Roger, he never won in his life against switzerlander.
Let‘s talk about player :

Roger Federer (3) – Maestro is still in very good shape this year, coming back to top 4 was big goal and he made it, now becoming No.1 in world is near to. While Andy is not playing, Roger and Rafael Nadal can become No.1, it is like time machine for us, then Roger and Rafa was in the top. Maestro started this tournament with easy win without any struggles, we believe he is in very good shape, but not the best for now, he is waiting for Us Open. Some people says Roger is better than few years, we can agree with it. Player from Switzerland plays very good tennis, he is still enjoyning it and playing like fresh player, but with all experience he is even more dangerous. Don‘t forget after long years waiting he already won two Grand Slam titles this year.

David Ferrer (33) - Spanish player may be only 33 in the ranking, but he know how good he can be. Spaniard had same problems like Roger, he went down in ranking, he didn‘t play good enough to compete with younger players, but we all know it for short of time, all older players always comeback to good shape and wins back everything. 5/4 score on hard court is not good enough for David, so he will improve it soon we guess. After long time with no titles, last month David Ferrer finally won a title in Bastad.

Comparing the players : Players met 17 times before and all those times Roger was better, starting from 2003 Vienna Indoors tournament he won everytime, but now these two old wolfs ain‘t so young anymore, they both are have more than 30 years. Most matches ended in two sets, David just couldn‘t compete, but later spanish player improved his game against Roger and won at least on set. What is so different between players, that makes Roger to win everytime? Well, Roger is taller, have a better serve and ofcourse Maestro is very tallented player, we don’t say David is not, but Roger is just better. David Ferrer score all matches during career 795/392, while Roger have 1151/268, both results are miraculous , but for sure Roger have much better score. There is one thing, David is good on all surfaces, but he prefers clay surface, he is best there , while Roger played all surfaces and felt best on grass, that is the difference, maybe Ferrer David was created for clay court and he feels best there. So biggest difference is in game style, Roger likes fast tennis with fast shots and short rallies, while David likes long rallies, slower balls and hits with more spin.

What to expect : Well when you meet player for 18 time, we guess it always hard to win, doesn’t matter with whom you play, so David won’t give up easily for sure, he knows his opponent well. We can say Roger is still warming up, there is no need to loose his health again so he can wait for Us Open to score a lot of points, while David will try his best, he needs points now to be in better ranking position, so in the end David can win set again, maybe even match, a lot depends on Roger and his current shape.
