On this way they close up a great week. They defeated in the first round to the Australian Vanessa Dobson and Karolina Wlodarczak by a double 6-1, what gave them the direct pass to semifinal due to the non-appearance in quarter final of the couple Gajdosova and Zakopova caused of a lesion occurred to the last one.

About JC Ferrero ATP

Juan Carlos Ferrero always appeared to be a sportsman fashioned in a bygone era. By nature of his personality, he let his tennis do the talking, remaining intensely private and loyal to those he trusted.

Determined to become a champion, working diligently to fine-tune his natural abilities – particularly on clay courts – in a disciplined yet understated manner, Ferrero never boasted about his greatness. Always charming, humble and stylish throughout his career, it wasn't in his nature to be a crowd-pleaser. His mother, Rosario, never approved of tennis players who were too exuberant. When she died in 1998, two years after Ferrero had left Onteniente to join Antonio Martinez at the Villena Tennis Academy, the 17 year old became withdrawn and resolved to dedicate wholeheartedly to professional tennis in her honour.

Having finished runner-up to Fernando Gonzalez at the 1998 Roland Garros juniors, it was clear he was going to be something very special, when, in the following year, Ferrero was named ATP Newcomer of the Year after rocketing up a colossal 302 places in the South African Airways ATP Rankings to World No. 43. Twelve months later, he helped Spain capture its first Davis Cup title and for four seasons he was the man to beat on clay.

Between 2000 and 2003, he compiled a 111-25 match record on red dirt – winning three of his four ATP World Tour Masters 1000 trophies – and went 23-2 at Roland Garros, where he finished runner-up in 2002 and captured the 2003 crown.
Seemingly, each year, he upgraded all aspects of his game – especially his serve and forehand. Without losing his agility, he played with great subtlety and deceptive power in order to consistently outclass Gustavo Kuerten and countrymen Alex Corretja, Albert Costa and Carlos Moya on clay courts. With men's professional tennis evolving at the start of the 21st century, El Mosquito's slight stature, speed, finesse and ability to conjure winning strokes from nothing delighted the purists and his willingness to improve on other surfaces was rewarded by a rise to the pinnacle of the sport.

Just three months after expectation became reality, when Ferrero beat Dutchman Martin Verkerk 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 for his lone Grand Slam championship title in Paris, the 23-year-old became World No. 1 on 8 September 2003, replacing Andre Agassi. Ferrero reigned for eight weeks until Andy Roddick, his conqueror, 6-3, 7-6(2), 6-3, in the US Open final, unseated him.

By example, he inspired a future generation of Spanish talent, including David Ferrer and Rafael Nadal. Ferrer exclusively told ATPWorldTour.com, "Juan Carlos has been a very important player for Spanish tennis. He was World No. 1, he was the one who won the third point when Spain first won the Davis Cup and opened the way for many more players to follow and more Davis Cup victories of our country. He was and is my best friend on the tour. He's a person that is very close to me and a friend of many friends of mine. He’s a very humble and noble person."

In total, he spent 176 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of the South African Airways ATP Rankings until 13 September 2004 when injuries and loss of form took their toll. Headstrong, possessing an iron will, his love for the sport never faltered as he worked hard to return to the highest level. In 2009, he broke a 110-tournament title drought by clinching his 16th tour-level trophy at Casablanca and the following year, during the golden swing of Latin American tournaments, Ferrero produced a series of vintage performances in compiling a 14-1 record to return to the Top 20. Overall, he was 16-18 in finals.

Away from the spotlight, Ferrero eschewed a millionaire's lifestyle of a mansion on the Mediterranean coast and still resides at the academy, which harnessed his dreams as a teenager, playing golf and pursuing his passion for cars and bikes. With Martinez, his coach since 1989, he wisely looked to life outside of professional tennis while at the peak of his career by investing in a number of projects.

At 32, Ferrero is calling time on his career, highly motivated to succeed in sporting retirement with the La Fundación de la Comunidad Valenciana Juan Carlos Ferrero, which promotes sports for youth in and around Valencia, and the 12-suite Hotel Ferrero in Bocairente that he developed in July 2007, plus as joint-owner of the Valencia Open 500, an ATP World Tour 500 tournament each October.

Roddick, who retired at the US Open in September, paid tribute to Ferrero by admitting to ATPWorldTour.com, "I have a huge amount of respect for him and enjoyed being on the tour with him for so long. He always acted with great professionalism and earned the respect of his peers throughout his distinguished career."   

Ferrero Reflects On Emotional Exit In Valencia ATP

Juan Carlos Ferrero reflected on a "very emotional week" following his first-round loss to close friend and countryman Nicolas Almagro on Tuesday at the Valencia Open 500. Defeat marked the end of the 32 year old’s 14-year career on the ATP World Tour. Ferrero cried as he received a standing ovation on court at the Agora Building.

"This is a very special week, a very emotional week," said Ferrero. "Today on court it was very emotional, but it’s been very emotional since the tournament started.

"There were two sides of the coin to playing against Nico," continued the Villena native, who had trained hard in the lead up to Valencia and was hoping to win one or two matches before bowing out.

"When I first saw the draw, I was really not happy because he was one of the few players I didn’t want to play. We’re best friends, we practise together, and Nico is also trying to qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. I was really not happy, but then, the nice side of it is that I played my last match against a very important person for me, a great friend."

He may be hanging up his racquet, but Ferrero still intends to stay involved in the tennis world. As well as running his academy, the Juan Carlos Ferrero – Equelite in Villena, the Spaniard revealed he may take up a coaching role with Almagro next season.

"There’s a good chance that I will be travelling with Nico to a few tournaments next year, maybe as a coach. It was nice to play my last match against him," said Ferrero, who was joined in his press conference by Almagro.

"I’ve always been a very competitive person and a winner, and I felt like I didn’t have it within me anymore," explained the 2003 Roland Garros champion, who reached No. 1 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings in September 2003. "It takes a lot to keep up with what the level is. I could probably still be around for some time, but because I’ve always been a perfectionist, I want to stop now."

Ferrero is set to compete in the doubles with David Ferrer on Wednesday afternoon. The pair faces Carlos Berlocq and Alexandr Dolgopolov. Later in the day, there will be an official send-off for Ferrero, featuring the likes of Rafael Nadal, Alex Corretja, Carlos Moya, Albert Costa and golfer Sergio Garcia.

We are going to miss you JC Ferrero

             

Juan Carlos Ferrero fought hard but Nicolas Almagro won 7-5, 6-3


The Agora was the place where Juan Carlos Ferrero played his last individual match. He did his best but Nicolas Almagro who is trying to get a place for the Masters Cup in London, was too much. The score, 7-5, 6-3 shows the match was not easy for “Nico”.

“It has been a very nice day” said Ferrero after the match. On court, Ferrero felt “the love of the crowd”. During the press conference, he announced that “maybe I will play some doubles tournament, just to have fun”. Regarding his opponent, Ferrero was honored to be defeated by a friend.

Talking about the highlights of his career, he pointed the first Davis Cup title, the victory in Roland Garros and the moment when he became number one. His coach, Antonio Martinez Cascales added the world championship when he was 14 and the first title after a serious injury.

When Almagro won, it was clear that this was not a normal match. Ferrero started to cry but with a smile in his face. When he was ready he said some words to the crowd. “He said just a few words but they came from the heart” claimed Almagro.

At the press conference Almagro added "this was the bitterest victory of my career” and in his opinion Ferrero is still a high class, “after this match, I will keep on playing but I respect his decision”

On second round Almagro will face Sam Querrey, they have played four times, last one during the David Cup semifinal.

Juan Carlos Ferrero interview

Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero, a former world number one who won the French Open in 2003 but whose career has been hampered by injuries, will retire after playing at his home event next month.

The Valencia Open 500 will be my final tournament, in the best possible scenario," Ferrero told a news conference presenting the ATP event.

"This season injuries have prevented me from playing with regularity and it was a tough year as I realised on the court that I did not have the same ambition after 14 years at the top level," added the 32-year-old.

"I am starting a new phase in my life with tremendous excitement, I will continue to be involved with tennis through the Valencia Open, the academy, the foundation that carries my name and other projects."

Ferrero, who has slipped to 111 in the latest singles rankings, turned professional in 1998 and went on to win 15 titles, including the Masters events in Monte Carlo and Rome.

As well as his Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, he reached the final there in 2002 and the U.S. Open final in 2003, after which he rose to number one and stayed there for eight weeks. His last title came in Stuttgart in 2011 on his favoured clay.

Ferrero played in 17 Davis Cup ties for Spain, compiling an 18-6 record in singles rubbers, and helped the Iberian nation to their first triumph in the competition in 2000 and subsequent victories in 2004 and 2009.

"Among the memories I would pick out the Davis Cup win in 2000, because I understood afterwards how much it meant to the country," said Ferrero, who clinched the trophy by beating Australian Lleyton Hewitt in the fourth singles rubber.

"But certainly for a player winning a grand slam or getting to number one in the world is the most important," he added.

"What I will miss most is the competition, it will difficult to fill the void."

Juan Carlos Ferrero retires from Pro Tennis

We are going to miss Juan Carlos Ferrero. In 2003, you became number 1 in pro tennis. 2012, you leave Pro tennis as legend and friend... We are honored to be part of your team. For all of us you always will be number 1. Thank you.... 

Ferrero, 32, said he would retire after the Valencia Open 500 tournament in his home city in eastern Spain from October 20 to 28.

"The Valencia Open 500 will be my last tournament, on the best stage possible," Ferrero was quoted as saying at the launch of the Valencia event.

Ferrero, nicknamed "The Mosquito", won the French Open in 2003 and reached the final of the US Open the same year. He won 15 other major tour titles and reached the finals of a further 17.

He has not played for two months due to injury.

"This season, injuries have prevented me from playing continually and it has been a complicated year because I noticed on the court that I did not have the same ambition after 14 years at the top level," he said.

Ferrero in 2003 became the second Spanish player after Carlos Moya to occupy the world No.1 spot, before the rise of Rafael Nadal.

"What I will miss the most is competing. That will be a hard gap to fill," Ferrero said.

Ferrero played in the first Spanish team to win the Davis Cup, beating Australia in Barcelona in 2000, and in Spain's victory over the United States in Seville in 2004.

"Among my memories, the Davis Cup in 2000 stands out because then I understood how important it is for the country, but for a player winning a Grand Slam or becoming world No.1 is the most important," he said.

How to choose tennis academy?

• Choose the program 

First, you need to decide the program and  how long you want to send a player to the tennis academy.

The main two types of programs are the summer camp and  professional program (compitition pro, academy training).

Summer tennis camp - a program for children from 6 to 16 years old in summer. Its better to start searching camps in March - April the latest, to be able to get all details, information about the academy and a visa (if required), and book tickets. In summer, the price of air tickets is increased. Many of the Academy will organize the camp, not only in the summer, but during the school holidays. If your child has a good tennis level, I would suggest choose a professional program for the summer period.

Professional program -  for any period of staying the whole year. Its always possibillity for joining groups any time during the year. I wont advice to come just for one week. A player will need time to adapt after the flight and get used to the training process and a new place. A minimum 2 weeks.  To evaluate the process of the traininig and understand  the whole idea you should plan your trip  for 1-3 months, then you can make right decision. 

If you would like to go to academy with a kid, you should inform the academy. Some academies dont approve parents in the training process of the kid.

• Choose the country

The basic countries, where are all the players are going for training, Europe (Spain, France, Italy) and USA, there are also plenty academies in Czech Republic, Emirates, Asia and Australia. 

• Pay attention to accomidation and meals for the player

Unfortanately, not all academies can provide accomidation in the academy. Most academies provide homestay (under 18 age) or apartments (from 18 age), or hotels. Situation with meal is more easier in all academies. They have cafes and restaurants inside.

• What academy is right for you?

There are 2 types of academies:

• Popular big commercial academies
• Small unknown clubs

Unfortunately, many academies are using the names of famous tennis players. No need to rely on a player name. Tennis bussiness is not easy to create in a few years. Create a database, find  an experienced coach, who can manage the process of training, good fitness coach, as well as people who are associated with tennis and understand a lot about tennis.

Some small clubs can also compete with other great academies. Plus, a small number of players and low prices for training, but the clubs have a problem with the visa in the long term.

Choose the academy with the experience more then one year. 

Check the number of players in the program. The more people, the less attention the player will get.

• Read the reviews

Try to get more information, who trains at the academy, if you play tournaments, you can meet coaches from the academies, watch how they comunicate with players, ask questions about their academy.

Reviews can help to get an idea of the academy, but dont believe them for 100%. Some reviews, that I read about academies, are far away from reality. 

• Is it worth to go to the academy? 

Yes, as the academy helps to understand the system of training, tennis player's lifestyle, each contry has different vision of teaching tennis.
