Seventh-seed Tommy Robredo catches air in his losing effort against fellow-Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-3 6-2. Ferrero reaches the round of 16 to play tenth-seed Tommy Haas. Ferrero’s record is 3-1 against the German with Haas winning their last meeting four years ago in Halle.

After years of injuries, Ferrrero and Haas are now healthy and playing well. The match tomorrow should be a good showdown between the two players. Too bad this match is not going to be televised.
