  Ferrer kicks off Barcelona against Krajinovic

  David Ferrer will take the court for his opening match of the Barcelona Open against wildcard entrant Filip Krajinovic of Serbia.
  Spain's own David Ferrer had a dismal start to the European clay court swing. The world No. 6 put in a dismal performance against Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci in the second round and suffered a 3-6, 2-6 drubbing.
  The one upside for Ferrer is that unlike the other top contenders, he comes into Barcelona rested and generally speaking the Spaniard has played well recently, including a pair of wins over Austria in Davis Cup.
  Filip Krajinovic is ranked 789 in the world, a ranking low enough that he is forced to qualify for Challenger events. The Serb got his first win of the year over fellow wildcard Inigo Cervantes of Spain.
