David Ferrer outlasts Ryan Sweeting in a tumultous 5-set match





Ferrer defeats Sweeting 6-7 (4/7) 6-2 3-6 6-2 6-3. David Ferrer outlasted up and coming Ryan Sweeting, who was originally in the Top 20 before injuries plagued him in 2011. The American played some extraordinary shots as he raced to a 2-1 set lead over the 2011 semi-finalist and 5th seed. But Ferrer, known for his indomitable spirit, fought back and took the match on a hot Australian day. "It was a very tough match, playing five sets in three hours," Ferrer said. Will this signal a less than stellar run for the Number 2 Spaniard, or it will it boost Ferrer's confidence and help him make a deep run here? My prediction, Ferrer loses in the quarterfinals against Djokovic in three sets.
