US Open 2011: Breakout Male Player - Juan Carlos Ferrero




    Juan Carlos Ferrero is certainly not a breakout player anymore but since his ranking has sunk below the 100s, he is qualified for this award, which I give to the lowest ranked player to reach the fourth round of the Grand Slam - and it can include players on the comeback trail - like JC.

    Unfortunately, JC lost to Janko Tipsarevic 57 76(3) 57 26 and failed a quarterfinal bid.  He had wins though over compatriots Marcel Granollers (#32) and Pablo Andujar (#45) an epic victory over Gael Monfils (#7) in the second round 76(5) 57 67(5) 64 64.

    His fourth round appearance here should propel him back into the Top 100 again next week.
