Most famous for.. his incredible fitness and being a 'wall' on the court, returning everything.

Something you probably didn't know.. despite his fitness Ferrer is known to enjoy the occasional cigarette.

From the man himself.. he must have a huge bookshelf. He loves reading and is said to keep every book he reads

A Kiwi connection? Auckland has been a happy hunting ground for Ferrer, most recently winning this year's Heineken Open. He also won in 2007 and has reached two semi-finals.

2011... Started the year in style with a win in Auckland before reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open. Disappointingly bowed out in the fourth round at Roland Garros.
