Pérez-Roldán was known particularly as a strong Clay Court player. He turned professional in 1986 . Between 1987 and 1993 , he won nine top-level singles titles. His best Grand Slam performance came at the 1988 French Open , where he reached the quarter-finals before being knocked-out by Andre Agassi . He burst onto the scene as a teenager in 1988 by reaching the final of the Italian Open , where he battled Ivan Lendl in five grueling sets. Later that year, at the US Open , John McEnroe famously expressed outrage at being seeded significantly lower than Pérez-Roldán, who had not yet won a match on hard courts. However, Pérez-Roldán silenced critics by progressing further in the tournament than McEnroe. His career-high singles ranking was World No. 13 (in 1988), and his career prize-money earnings totalled US$1,686,341. In the early 1990s his career was hamstrung by injuries and he retired from the professional tour in 1996 . TITLES (9) Singles (9) EXTERNAL LINKS |
