Ferrer and Ljubicic advance at Monte Carlo Masters
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}David Ferrer advanced to the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters by beating Milos Raonic 6-1, 6-3 in the third round Thursday.
The fourth-seeded Spaniard dictated most of the rallies and pegged Raonic behind the baseline. The big-serving Canadian rarely threatened, managing only one ace and losing his own serve five times.
Ferrer will next face either Tommy Robredo of Spain or Viktor Troicki of Serbia.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ivan Ljubicic also advanced, beating fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-2 to reach his third quarterfinal of the season.
Ljubicic could next meet six-time defending champion Rafael Nadal. The top-ranked Spaniard was to play Richard Gasquet of France later Thursday.
