The Spanish tennis players who have won the Masters Cup

Although in Spain we can boast of great tennis players throughout history, Only two have achieved the prestigious Masters Cup in the individual box: Manuel Orantes y Alex Corretja.

The first of them, absolute legend of tennis in our country, got it in the edition of 1978 held in houston (USA). His rival in the final was the Pole Wojtek Fibak that made things very complicated for Spanish. Not in vain, that clash was decided in a total of five sets (5-7; 6-2; 0-6; 7-6 y 6-1).

They had to pass 20 years for another Spaniard to win the title in the ATP finals. It was in the year 1998 when Alex Corretja achieved an epic victory against his compatriot Carlos Moyà. On this occasion the clash was played in the German city of Hannover. Again, the match was turned into five sets, with the Catalan comeback included (3-6; 3-6, 7-5; 6-3 y 7-5).
