BIOGRAPHY

Sergi Bruguera ushered in the golden age of Spanish tennis in the early ‘90s. With precision groundstrokes and an extra dose of determination, Bruguera captured back-to-back French Open titles (in ’93 and '94) and launched the armada of classic clay courters, who invaded the Top 10 and dominated the clay court season.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

In 1989, his first full year on tour, Bruguera won a Challenger in Cairo, advanced to the semifinals in Rome and rose to No. 26 in the world. He was named Newcomer of the Year.

His best results came at the French Open where he was an underdog in the ’93 final, but won a hard-fought, five-set victory over then World No. 1 Jim Courier. He repeated as Champion the next year, defeating countryman Alberto Berasategui.

Bruguera played Davis Cup for Spain six times between 1990 and 1995, compiling a record of 12-11 in singles and doubles.

He won the Silver Medal for Spain in singles at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, losing to Andre Agassi.

Sergi achieved his highest singles ranking in 1994 at No. 3 and his highest doubles ranking in 1991 at No. 49.

17 career titles: 14 in singles; 3 in doubles.
