Alberto Berasategui Salazar (born 28 June 1973) is a former top-10 professionaltennis player from Spain. He was aGrand Slam finalist at the1994 French Open, and won a total of 14ATP singles titles, achieving a career-high singles ranking of world No. 7 in November 1994.

Tennis career

[edit]

Berasategui won a total of 14 top-level singles titles and one tour doubles title. All of them, as well as all losses in finals, were on clay. He won at least one singles title for six consecutive years (1993–1998). He began playing tennis at age seven and was the European junior champion in 1991. He turned professional later that year, and won his first top-level singles title in 1993, two years later.

In 1994, Berasategui reached nine finals, winning seven of them. He also reached his firstGrand Slam final at theFrench Open, where he defeatedWayne Ferreira,Cédric Pioline,Yevgeny Kafelnikov,Javier Frana,Goran Ivanišević andMagnus Larsson to face fellow Spaniard and defending championSergi Bruguera who defeated him 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".[1]

Berasategui retired from the professional tour in May 2001, having had persistent wrist injuries since his match withHernán Gumy at theBologna tournament in June 1998. The injuries had an adverse effect on his results and form, and had caused his consistency and ranking to decline. He also suffered severe cramps of unknown origin in long matches.[citation needed]

Playing style

[edit]

Berasategui was known for his extreme western grip, known as the "Hawaiian grip", where his unusual hold on the racket would allow him to hit both forehands and backhands with the same side of the racket.[2][3] This helped him on clay, but he did not have much of an impact on other surfaces except for a quarterfinals appearance at the1998 Australian Open, after having beaten world No. 2,Patrick Rafter in four sets in the third round, and came back from two sets down to beat the1995Australian Open champion, former and future world No. 1,Andre Agassi, in the fourth round. He lost in quarterfinals toMarcelo Ríos after winning a tight first-set tiebreak.[3]
