Career
Early years
Ferrer moved to Gandia at age 13, followed two years later by a move to Barcelona to attend the Catalan Tennis Federation. He spent nine months at Equelite, Juan Carlos Ferrero's Academy in Villena before moving back to Jávea while practicing in Denia. He turned professional in 2000, finishing as World No. 419, winning in Poland F1 and Spain F3 finishing runner-up in Spain F1. 2001 was not a particularly good year for him. He won his first career Challenger title in Sopot and reached the SF at Manerbio the following week. He also reached the semifinals in Spain F15 and Spain F16.
2002
He played consistently in ATP (10-6) and Challenger (35-13) tournaments, winning his first ATP title in Bucharest (defeated Acasuso) and reaching his first ATP final in just his second ATP event in Umag (defeated Nalbandian, Coria, lost to Moyà). He won Challenger titles in Napoli, Valencia and Sassuolo. All 10 ATP match wins and 34 of 35 Challenger wins came on clay.
2003
The highlight of 2003 was Ferrer's defeat of Andre Agassi in R64 at the Rome Masters. He made his debut at all four Grand Slam tournaments, as well as six ATP Masters Series events. At AMS Roma, he upset the defending champion Agassi in the first round (lost to Ljubičić in second round). Ferrer advanced to the second round at the French Open and Wimbledon. He reached his third career final in Sopot (lost to Coria). In doubles, he reached his first career final in Acapulco (with his partner Fernando Vicente). He compiled a 13-16 record on clay courts, 6-10 on hard, 1–1 on grass and had a year-ending ranking of World No. 71.
2004
Ferrer reached the quarterfinals in Buenos Aires, Valencia and at the ATP Masters Series Hamburg (defeated No. 6 David Nalbandian, lost to Coria). He advanced to the semifinals in Stuttgart (l. to Gaudio). Late in the year he advanced to the quarterfinals in Bucharest and the semis in Palermo (l. to Berdych) and Lyon (defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero, lost to Xavier Malisse). He ended the year with a ranking of World No. 49.
2005
Ferrer advanced to the semifinals of AMS Miami by defeating Nalbandian, Ferrero, and Hrbatý (lost to Rafael Nadal). In his hometown of Valencia, he reached his lone final of the year (lost to Andreev in three sets). He advanced to the quarterfinals at Monte Carlo Masters (lost to Guillermo Coria) and semifinals at AMS Roma (defeated Gastón Gaudio, lost to Nadal). He made his third appearance at the French Open and turned in a Grand Slam-best quarterfinal, rallying from a 0–4 fifth set deficit against defending champ Gaudio in the fourth round before losing to eventual champ Nadal. He reached the semifinals at New Haven (lost to López). He followed up with his best result at the US Open, losing in the third round to Hrbatý. He closed the year with quarterfinal showings at AMS Madrid (defeated Puerta, lost to Robby Ginepri) and AMS Paris (lost to Andy Roddick). He lost only once in the first round of nine Masters Series events, while compiling a 20-9 record. In doubles, Ferrer won first two ATP titles in Viña del Mar and Acapulco (with partner Ventura) and earned a career-high of US$951,772. He finished the year with a ranking of World No.
