Former French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero plays his first match since the 2010 U.S. Open in Barcelona and defeats Xavier Malisse 6-4, 6-2.
The 31-year-old underwent right wrist and left knee surgery on October 4 and is currently ranked No. 77. "I need to get into match rhythm in order to to regain the confidence that I have lost in those months," he said. I’m lacking movement. It is not like starting over again, but I’ve never had an injury for so long. Now I am looking forward to try to play at the highest level for two or three years more."—Matthew Cronin
