Sports career

At 16, Conchita Martinez won three of her first four tournaments under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) , passed the qualification for the French Open, and reached the 1/8 finals there. In the same year in Sofia, she won her first WTA tournament , immediately in singles and doubles.

In 1989, Martinez breaks into the world tennis elite: in mid-June, she is already in the top ten of the WTA rating , wins three tournaments this year, goes from the Spanish national team to the finals of the Federation Cup and receives the WTA Award for “Best Newcomer of the Year” . In the next two years, she also wins three singles tournaments, and in 1991 she added to her trophies her first Federation Cup (which was also the first for the Spanish national team). [3] In the final of the main team tournament of the year with the US team , Martinez lost to Jennifer Capriati a personal meeting, but won the pair game with Aranche Sanchez , and the Spaniards won 2-1.

In 1992, the twenty- year -old Martinez participates in his first Olympic Games , which take place in Barcelona . In singles, she is inferior to Aranche Sanchez in the quarterfinals, but in the doubles, together with Sanchez, she reaches the final, where they are defeated by the American couple Gigi and Mary-Joe Fernandez with a score of 7-5, 2-6, 6-2. Even before the Olympics, Martinez reached her first final of the Grand Slam tournament : together with Sanchez, she lost in the finals of the French Open, Natalia Zvereva and Gigi Fernandez .

In the next three years, Martinez wins 15 singles tournaments (including the 1994 Wimbledon tournament - the only one she won on the grass) and in two - in pairs, he wins the Federation Cup three times in a row, having won six final meetings, six victories, and reaches the highest places for himself in the ranking in both singles and doubles.

In 1996, she became the first tennis player to win the Italian Open four times in a row. She is seeded second in singles at the Atlanta Olympics , but inferior to Mary-Joe Fernandez in the quarter-finals. In the pairs Martinez and Sanchez-Vicario, they won medals for the second time in a row, now bronze: in the match for third place, the Spanish couple convincingly defeats the Dutch women Bollegraf and Schulz-McCarthy 6-1, 6-3.

1997 becomes the first year without a single title during Martinez performances. She is in the fifth consecutive finals in the Italian Open, but she loses to Marie Pierce ; at the tournament in Stanford, she reaches the final, beating the second and third seeded Monica Seles and Amanda Kötzer , but in the final she loses to the first racket of the world Martine Hingis . However, already next year she wins two singles tournaments, one in pairs and for the fifth time wins the Federation Cup with the national team. She is also the second time in her career to reach the finals of the Grand Slam singles tournament, but loses to Hingis in the finals of the Australian Open .

In 2000, Martinez won his penultimate title in singles (she won the last only five years later, at the very end of her career). This year, she also for the third and last time qualifies for the Grand Slam tournament (French Open) in singles, but is inferior to the hostess of the competition Marie Pierce. At the Olympic Games in Sydney, she was sown under the fourth number, but already in the second round is inferior to Karina Habshudova from Slovakia . Paired with Sanchez, they are sown under the second number, but in the pair tournament they reach only the second round, losing to rivals from Belarus .

After 2000, Martinez's main successes were played in pairs: she won five more tournaments, once again reached the final of the French Open, and at the Athens Olympics she won her third Olympic medal, losing to Chinese Sun and Ruano Pasqual in the final against Chinese women Tiantian and Li Ting . In singles, she in the first round drops out of the fight, losing 6-1, 6-4 to a future finalist, seeded under the second number of Amelie Moresmo .

On April 15, 2006, at a press conference in Valencia, Conchita Martinez announced her retirement from big sport.
