Albert Montañés


Albert Montañés Roca is a retired professional tennis player from Spain.
He first entered the top 100 in 2001. He achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 22 in 2010 and has won six singles titles and two doubles titles.
Montañés is one of the very few players to win a title after saving match points in two different matches. He did it during his title run in Estoril 2009 in his quarter-finals and the final.
He holds the record for most first-round exits at Grand Slam events; 33 reached at 2014 US Open, beating Kenneth Carlsen's long standing record of 30 first-round exits.
His career ended at the 2017 Barcelona Open. He was awarded a wild card to participate in the event and reached the second round, where he lost to fellow countryman Feliciano López 6–2, 6–2.
