Ferrer and fellow 34-year-old Spaniard Lopez, who were doubles partners at the 2012 London Olympics, have battled it out on 15 previous occasions, including five times on clay.

Former French Open finalist (in 2013) and number 11 seed Ferrer has triumphed in nine of those clashes, each of the last six, and every time on the orange surface.
