David Ferrer has perhaps played his last match at Roland Garros yesterday: a hard fought 5-set marathon loss against Feliciano Lopez. Finalist here in 2013, Ferru has a 7-10 win-loss record this year, and is out of the top 30 for the first time since April 2005.
Lopez who’s playing his 61st consecutive Grand Slam will face Marin Cilic in the third round.
