Ferrer-Fish, briefly

Say hello to the new best American and Miami semifinalist....*drums*

Maaaardy Fiiiish!

Seriously, since when hasn't Roddick been dethroned from the American No.1 position? And in these moments, with all my respects for Andy, the new rankings seem about right.

After beating del Potro in two tight sets, he sent Ferrer packing, again in straights. An unpleasant incident happened during the match, everything because of a baby's bawls. The kid was crying in the stands and Ferru was so annoyed that he sent a forehand lob towards him after losing his serve in the second set. Fortunately, the ball didn't come close by the infant.

This is the media's version, which, like many times, is wrong. He didn't aim the ball to the kid, he hit the ball in the stands and didn't even use too much power, so the only victim could have been what? A pigeon?! And also, who comes with such a little kid to a tennis match? There are babysitters, you know... Here is what actually happened.

After the match, Mardy said he didn't catch the moment, but declared: "He'd probably take that one back if he could. He's a very nice guy. Obviously flustered."

There you go, Ferru! Safer way to express your frustration!
