\nDavid Ferrer vs. Feliciano Lopez Preview<\/h2>\n
Where:<\/strong> Stade Roland Garros \u2013 Paris, France<\/p>\nWhen:<\/strong> Saturday, May 28<\/p>\nLine:<\/strong> David Ferrer (-380<\/strong>) vs. Feliciano Lopez (+290<\/strong>) \u2013 view all French Open Men\u2019s Singles lines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
\nBetting on David Ferrer<\/h3>\n
David Ferrer is feeling right at home on clay, as he\u2019s been great through the first two rounds of the French Open. The Spaniard\u00a0beat Evgeny Donskoy 6-1, 6-2, 6-0 in the first round,\u00a0and then overcame a slow start against Juan Monaco on Thursday to eventually win in four sets (6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2). Playing on clay gives 34-year-old righty\u00a0plenty of advantages, as\u00a0he gets to use his athleticism and excellent baseline play due to the slower surface of clay.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>Ferrer won 63 percent of his first serve points in his victory over Monaco in the second round. His performance on serve still has plenty to be desired about, and he also complemented it with an excellent return game,\u00a0winning\u00a051 percent of his receiving points against Monaco. The World No. 11’s return game could be the deciding factor in this upcoming match against Feliciano Lopez.<\/p>\nFerrer has won 42 percent of his return points in his last six matches against Lopez, all victories. It\u2019s going to be difficult to stop him especially once he gets his service game going.<\/p>\n
Betting on Feliciano Lopez<\/h3>\n
Feliciano Lopez was all power in the second round of the French Open. He fired off 15 aces and won 83 percent of his first serve points in a 6-3, 7-6 (8), 6-3 victory over Victor Estrella Burgos. Power will be one of the biggest factors in Lopez\u2019 style as he takes on fellow countryman David Ferrer in the third round of the French Open.<\/p>\n
Lopez has fallen victim to Ferrer in their past six head-to-head matchups. Before the losing streak, the former\u00a0had won six of his first nine head-to-head matchups against the latter. The 34-year-old Lopez\u00a0showed plenty of improvement translating his power on clay in the second round of Roland Garros. He also showed some improvement in his return game,\u00a0as he won 39 percent of his receiving points. However, Lopez\u00a0also\u00a0had difficulty closing out break points, winning\u00a0just 3 of 13 on break point opportunities.<\/p>\n
What could be a potent weapon for Lopez is his net game, as he has won 63 percent of his net-point opportunities through the first two rounds of the tournament. With that in mind, he can certainly approach the net for the perfect shot once he gets Ferrer running back-and-forth on extended rallies.<\/p>\n
Lopez is 6-5 in his last 11 matches on clay.<\/p>\n
Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n
Ferrer (-380<\/strong><\/a>) takes a four-set victory over his compatriot.<\/p>\n
