Andy Murray, who will play David Ferrer in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, says the Spaniard is not a clay-court specialist.
"No, he's not," Murray said. "He won last week on grass [in the Netherlands], so he's won, what, eight matches in a row on the grass? He's been in the semifinals of Australia, I think semifinals of U.S. Open, as well, and now he's starting to play better on grass. I don't see him as a clay-court specialist at all."
Ferrer defeated Murray in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros last month. The two are locked at 5-5 in their career head-to-head. They have never played on grass, and Ferrer has scored four of his wins over the Scot on clay. Murray has won his five matches against Ferrer on hard courts.
