Ho-hum … Ferreira bows out again

THURSDAY, 12.30PM:

SOUTH African tennis international Wayne Ferreira seems set on a career as a serial loser after bowing out of a major tournament once again. The third seed and world number 10 opted out of the first round of the $425 000 BMW Open yesterday with the same 6-3 6-4 score against the same German, Marc Goellner, as last year.

Meanwhile, Joanette Kruger continued her successful run up the Croatian women’s tournament yesterday with a 3-6 6-4 6-0 victory over Spain’s Anna Alcazar in the third round.
