There was no shortage of excitement from Day 7 of the 2014 French Open, with big names playing well and a few upsets sprinkled in for good measure. Three results, in particular, bear recapitulation because the three winners played excellently and are in such superb form that they all look like good bets to advance past the next round at Roland Garros.



 

David Ferrer (5) def. Andreas Seppi (32): 6-2, 7-6(2), 6-3



David Ferrer looked extremely convincing in his straight-set defeat of Andreas Seppi to advance to the round of 16. The Spaniard has yet to drop a set at Roland Garros and is looking to make it back to the French Open final—and he has a good chance of accomplishing that goal if he continues to play this way.

The world No. 5 has Seppi’s number, improving to 7-0 against the Italian and winning all 15 of their sets. He’ll take on No. 19 seed Kevin Anderson in the next round.

Anderson advanced after his previous opponent retired, but the South African will have his hands full against a rejuvenated Ferrer, who is displaying tremendous consistency in his play. Ferrer expounded on that topic in an interview with ATPWorldTour.com:

I'm quite satisfied with the match. I would have liked to be more steady with my forehand and more consistent, but still, I'm happy.

In the past five weeks I have started my matches in a more regular way, more consistent, I was more solid. I must say that as far as this is concerned, Jose [Altur, his coach] has helped me a lot. We have worked a lot on this. That is how to kick off a match.

Ferrer is playing really well right now, but he will probably have to go through Rafael Nadal if both players win their round-of-16 matches, and that will be a monumental challenge with the way Nadal plays at Roland Garros.
