Overview

Ferrer managed to book a place in the semi-finals of the Master series tournament, after a tough match against Compatriot Tommy Robredo, which he won 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. The Spaniard has had a topsy-turvy year, and has managed just one title all year. This could be Ferrer's opportunity to win his second.

Meanwhile, the Spaniard's opponent is World No 41 Julien Benneteau, who beat Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka in a thrilling match. The Frenchman came from one set down to beat the Swiss 1-6, 6-1, 6-2. Benneteau is having a memorable year on tour and is the reigning Roland Garros doubles champion.

However, the Frenchman is yet to win a singles title in his career and could look upon this as his chance to do so. The top half of the men's singles draw has seen some major upsets, with World No 1 Novak Djokovic losing in the second round and Wawrinka being knocked out in the previous round. Therefore, it could be anyone's game to win and the winner will play one of Roger Federer or Milos Raonic in the final of the Cincinnati Masters.

Head-to-Head

Ferrer holds a slender 5-4 lead over Benneteau in overall meetings. The pair have clashed twice in ATP Master Series tournaments and the Spaniard emerged triumphant on both occasions.
