# Iván Navarro (tennis)

Iván Navarro Pastor (Spanish pronunciation:; born 19 October 1981) is a tennis coach and a former professional player from Spain. He reached a career high singles ranking of No. 67 in March 2009. He employed the serve-and-volley strategy, very much like his compatriot Feliciano López. During his playing career, he had a unique habit of changing racquets each game, using one racquet for serving and another for returning.

## Career

He defeated Ivo Karlović in the first round of the 2009 US Open before falling to former World No. 21 Taylor Dent in a five-set match in the second round. Navarro saved three match points in the decisive fifth-set tiebreak against Dent before the American hit a return winner to close out the match, 6–4, 5–7, 6–7$^{(1)}$, 7–5, 7–6$^{(9)}$. Navarro announced his retirement in April 2013.

## Sponsors

He was sponsored by Head and Li-Ning for his racquets and attire.
