Heineken Open - INTERNATIONAL SERIES - HARD

I'm kind of interested in why David Ferrer chose this Open instead of the Medibank International being the strongest ranked player in both draws!?! but anyway rank wise he is far ahead of anyone else but will he win it? All I have to say is the player I'm cheering for is Mario Ancic, a player that has been through so much difficulty. I'm also interested who Jose (rubin) Statham is mainly because he has a name in brackets!
