9 Nov 2012 5:17 AM IST
David Ferrer won his World Tour Finals opener in London, beating Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro in a three-set see-saw.
The World No.5, who is enjoying his best-ever season with seven titles, had to dig deep to break his opponent’s resistance for a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 win late on Tuesday.
‘It was a really tough match, it was very close and we had very good rallies,’ the 30-year-old Spaniard was quoted by the ATP website as saying. ‘I’m very happy with my game. Maybe this year, I am playing more aggressive with my shots.’
Next up for Ferrer is Roger Federer, who beat Ferrer in the semi-finals last year. Del Potro awaits Janco Tisparevic challenge in the next round.
