Fernando ended his Sony Ericsson Open run with losses in the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles. He lost a tough match against Tomas Berdych earlier today despite being up a set and a break, 6-4, 6-75, 4-6 and he and Feliciano lost their doubles match to compatriots and Davis Cup teammates Nicolas Almagro and Tommy Robredo, 5-7, 3-6.

So now it’s off to get ready for the clay season. Fernando is scheduled to play Monte Carlo-Rome-Madrid-Nice-Roland Garros for his clay season, although he could ask for a wildcard for Barcelona depending on his results. So vamos Fernando, and best of luck for the upcoming clay season!
