Sergi Bruguera i Torner (Catalan pronunciation:[ˈsɛɾʒiβɾuˈɣeɾəituɾˈne]; born 16 January 1971) is a Spanish former professionaltennis player and coach. Bruguera won consecutive men's singles titles at theFrench Open in1993 and1994, asilver medal in men's singles at the1996 Atlanta Olympics, and reached a career-high ranking of world No. 3 in August 1994.
Bruguera is the only player to have a winning record against bothRoger Federer andPete Sampras, leading 3–2 against Sampras[1] and 1–0 against Federer (at the2000 Barcelona Open).[2]
In 2018, Bruguera became the captain of theSpanish Davis Cup team. He coachedJo-Wilfried Tsonga from 2019 to 2022,Alexander Zverev from 2022 to 2023, andArthur Fils (withSébastien Grosjean) from 2023 to 2024.
Bruguera won a total of 14 top-level singles titles and 3 doubles titles. His career-high singles ranking was World No. 3. He is currently the director of the Bruguera Tennis Academy Top Team.
Bruguera was Spain's national junior champion in 1987. He turned professional in 1988. In his first full year on the tour, 1989, he won theCairo Challenger title as a qualifier, defeatingJordi Arrese in the final, and reached the semifinals in Rome. He reached 4th round in the French Open in 1989 and finished the year ranked world No. 26, and was named theATP's newcomer of the year.
Bruguera earned a reputation as a top clay court player in the early 1990s. He reached singles finals in 1990 atGstaad andGeneva, and captured doubles titles inHamburg (his 1st ATP Masters 1000 title in doubles) withJim Courier and inFlorence, partneringHoracio de la Peña. In 1991 he reached singles finals atBarcelona and Gstaad along with titles inEstoril, andAthens. He also wonMonte Carlo (his 1st ATP Masters 1000 title in singles) beatingBoris Becker in the final. "Becker and Bruguera put on a display of tennis that Borg would have been proud of in his glory years".[3] He also won a doubles title at Geneva, partneringMarc Rosset. In 1992 he reached singles finals at Estoril,Bordeaux, and Athens along with titles inMadrid, Gstaad andPalermo.
Bruguera rose to even further prominence in 1993. During theFrench Open, Bruguera reached quarterfinals without dropping a set, including a rare triple bagel (6–0, 6–0, 6–0) at the second round againstThierry Champion, this remains the last time a player recorded a triple bagel in a singles match at a Grand Slam event. He then defeatedPete Sampras in 4 sets andAndrei Medvedev in straight sets in the semifinals, Bruguera reached his firstGrand Slam final at the French Open, where he faced two-time defending champion and then World No. 2Jim Courier. Courier was overwhelmingly favoured to win his third title, but ultimately Bruguera won a gruelling five-set final that lasted 4 hours,[4] becoming the first Spaniard to win French Open sinceAndrés Gimeno in 1972.[4] It was also the last time a man won a Grand Slam singles title with wins over both of the top two seeds untilStanislas Wawrinka won the Australian Open in 2014. He continued his top clay court player reputation by reaching finals atMilan (his first final on Carpet), Barcelona, Madrid, and Palermo, while capturing an additional 4 titles at Monte Carlo (his 2nd ATP Masters 1000 title in singles), Gstaad,Prague, and Bordeaux (his 1st hard court title) besides Roland Garros. He finished the year ranked World No. 4.
In 1994 Bruguera maintained his dominance on clay and successfully defended his title at theFrench Open while only dropping 2 sets in the entire tournament, defeating Medvedev in straight sets in the quarterfinals and Courier in 4 sets in the semifinals. In the final he faced fellow SpaniardAlberto Berasategui, who hadn't dropped a set en route to the final. Bruguera won in four sets: "against the unflagging groundstrokes of Bruguera, the 23rd ranked Berasategui finally appeared mortal and he lashed out with 65 unforced errors and lost his serve half a dozen times".[5] Bruguera reached finals at Dubai (his 2nd hard court final), Monte Carlo (his 3rd ATP Masters 1000 final in singles), and Madrid, and captured titles at Gstaad and Prague besides Roland Garros. In August he reached his career-high ranking of World No. 3 and finished the year ranked World No. 4. He was the first Spaniard to finish 2 consecutive years in Top 5. It is also his 4th consecutive year winning at least 3 clay titles in singles.
Between 1990 and 1994 he reached 25 top-level clay tournament finals in singles and 3 top-level clay tournament finals in doubles, out of which he captured 13 clay titles in singles and 3 clay titles in doubles.
Bruguera was not able to keep up his dominance on clay like he did the previous years. Coming into1995 French Open as the two-time defending champion, he only dropped one set en route to semifinals, where he was defeated by1989 French Open championMichael Chang in straight sets, ending his 19-match win streak at Roland Garros.[6] He only reached 1 top-level final, which is his 4th Masters 1000 final, his first inRome (on clay), where he was defeated in 4 sets by Muster. In December, he tore 2 ligaments on his right ankle while training, which put him in an even worse condition and prevented him to make any significant impact during 1996 season.
He returned to competitive playing in February 1996, having not yet fully recovered from the injury. In1996 French Open Bruguera was taken out by Sampras in an epic 5-set match in the second round. The highlight of the year was when Bruguera won the men's singles silver medal at the 1996Olympic Games inAtlanta. He was defeated in straight sets in the final byAndre Agassi. It was also the only top-level final he reached this year. His Year-End Ranking slipped from previous year's No. 13 to No. 81 much thanks to his injuries.
Opening 1997 Bruguera was the first ever opponent ofLleyton Hewitt in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament, at theAustralian Open. Bruguera defeated him in straight sets.[7]
This year Bruguera returned strongly from injury previous season and reached finals at Milan,Key Biscaine (his 5th Masters final and his 1st on hard), andUmag. Bruguera also played an excellent tournament at theFrench Open reaching the final for the third time, en route to the final he defeated former champion and 2nd SeedMichael Chang in the fourth round, then rising star and future World No. 1Patrick Rafter in the semifinals. But an almost unknown Brazilian player ranked No. 66 namedGustavo Kuerten, who defeated two former champions and notable players en route to the final, defeated Bruguera in straight sets without much effort, although Bruguera was heavily favoured to win his 3rd title at Roland Garros.
Bruguera earned the ATP's Comeback Player of Year award in 1997 after returning from an ankle injury the previous year and improving his Year-End Ranking from world No. 81 to world No. 8.
After 1997, due to injuries, Bruguera was far from his best game. He lost concentration and started to increase his errors during his matches, losing one of his great virtues, his solid style. From 1998 until his retirement the three remarkable showings were the final (1999) and the title (2000) in the ChallengerOpen Castilla y León (considered best challenger tournament of the world by this date). He also reached the final of the ATP event inSan Marino in 2000, losing to fellow Spaniard Alex Calatrava.[8]
Bruguera was selected to captain theSpain Davis Cup team in 2018.[9]
Bruguera became the coach ofJo-Wilfried Tsonga between 2019 and 2022. He then coachedAlexander Zverev from May 2022, after he stepped down from his Davis Cup captain role,[10] till the run-up of the2023 French Open, splitting after the2023 Mutua Madrid Open due to creative differences.[11]
He co-coached French playerArthur Fils, withSébastien Grosjean, from the end of 2023 until mid-season 2024.[12][13]
Bruguera is a long-time fan of theLos Angeles Lakers and would often attend their games while playing at tournaments in the United States. During Miami Masters on 28 March 1997, right after the semifinals where he defeated world No. 1 Sampras, Bruguera sank three shots (layup, free throw, top of key) during a time-out of a game between the Lakers and theMiami Heat to earn US$500. This money was given to ATP Charities in his name. Bruguera has also played semi-professionalfootball in his native Spain.[14]
In a 2006 interview featuring questions from fans by the BBC Sport website, a question was asked about the frequent comparisons betweenRoger Federer and Sampras. In his reply, Bruguera claimed that Federer is ten times better than Sampras.[15]
