REUTERS – Spain’s David Ferrer, his eyes fixed on qualifying yet again for the ATP World Tour Finals, romped past fellow Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-1 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals of the Vienna Open on Thursday. Ferrer, who began the week in eighth place on the ATP’s Race standings, needs to retain that position to book his place at the season-ender in London. While 33-year-old Ferrer enjoys a healthy points lead over ninth-placed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Ferrer needs a strong end to the season if he wants to secure a seventh appearance in the ATP’s blue riband tournament. He needed only 63 minutes to claim victory on Thursday and stay on course for a fifth Tour title of the year. Ferrer, favourite along with Japan’s Kei Nishikori to bag one of the two remaining spots for London, will face Italian Fabio Fognini on Friday after he beat Czech veteran Radek Stepanek. American Steve Johnson also reached the last eight with a 6-4 6-7(7) 6-4 defeat of Poland’s Jerzy Janowicz. (Writing by Martyn Herman; editing by Toby Davis)

<h3><strong>David Ferrer 2021: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Spanish veteran David Ferrer was considered quite a formidable opponent in his prime. He turned pro back in 2000 and two years later, clinched his maiden ATP title. He also had an excellent track record in Challenger tournaments.

In 2003, he exploded onto the scene when he stunned Andre Agassi. The venue of the American's defeat was at the Rome Masters.

<h3><strong>On-Court Achievements</strong></h3>
In 2004, Ferrer broke into the Top 40 by reaching the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters in Hamburg after besting World Number 6, David Nalbandian. In the same year, he ended the season as the 49th ranked player.

A year later, his ranking got a big boost after winning two ATP titles and he ended the year on 14th spot.

He was the only man to have a perfect record in the round-robin stage and had the best win/loss set record (6?1) at the Tennis Master Cup. He even beat <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a>, and Andy Roddick, but ultimately lost to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer">Roger Federer</a>.

In 2008, he helped Spain towards a Davis Cup title and in 2012, he finished in fourth place in doubles at the Rio Olympics.

Ferrer is noted for being one of the more dogged, agile, and fit players on the tour, and he has won many matches with consistent baseline play, great fitness, foot speed, and determination.

At a personal level, Ferrer's reputation on the tour is that of a humble and shy person, rarely being involved in any controversy throughout his career. Calm and disciplined, he is admired for his tenacity and competitiveness on the court.

The Spaniard has also had several rivalries with the likes of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/andy-murray/">Andy Murray</a>, Fernando Verdasco, Feliciano Lopez, Tomas Berdych, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stan-wawrinka/">Stan Wawrinka</a>, Kei Nishikori, and others.

<strong>History</strong>

The sport of tennis is said to originate from the 12th century in France. However, at that time, players were using their palms to hit the ball. From the 16th century onwards, rackets began to be put in use.

But it was only from the 19th century onwards that it became a serious game. A typical tennis match consists of games. Players score 15 points to 30 points to 40 points and finally a game. In the event of 40-40, also known as a deuce, a player has to gain an advantage and win the next point to win the game.

The first to reach 6 games with a minimum gap of 2 games wins a set. However, if one player wins 6 games and the other wins 5, the leading player has to win a 7th game before his opponent. In the event of six games all, on certain occasions, a tiebreak is played until a player either reaches 6 games or wins by 2 games if both reach 6 games.

Coming to sets, there are 2 types of matches, 3-set matches and 5-set matches. In the event of the former, if a player earns 2 set wins, he or she wins the match. In the latter's case, it is a case of a player winning at least 3 sets.

There are various tennis tournaments held throughout the year. But the ultimate tournaments are known as Grand Slams. There are four main Grand Slams held every year. In chronological order, they are the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. Out of the four, Wimbledon is the oldest, first being held in 1877. The Australian Open is the youngest, first being held in 1905.

With regard to players, Margaret Court holds the record for the most Grand Slam wins for women. In the men's section, it is Roger Federer.
