Andrés Juan Gómez Santos (Guayaquil, February 27, 1960) is an Ecuadorian former tennis player, the most prominent in its history. He is related to other tennis players: father of Emilio Gómez and uncle of Nicolás Lapentti, Giovanni Lapentti and Roberto Quiroz.

On the ATP World Tour he won 54 titles, 21 singles and 33 in doubles, making him one of the best tennis players in the history of Latin America according to specialists. He won the 1990 Roland Garros Tournament in singles., and in doubles in 1988; He also won the 1986 US Open in doubles. His best individual position in the ATP Rankings was 4th in 1990 and in doubles, 1st in 1986. He finished with the Chilean Hans Gildemeister as the "best tennis duo." of the world" in 1986. He participated in the individual Masters Tournament in 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986 - in both modalities - and 1990.

Sports career

Gómez turned professional in 1979. Early success in his career came primarily in doubles competition. He won five doubles titles in 1980 and seven in 1981. He qualified for the Masters Tournament in doubles along with Gildemeister in 1981, but they did not show up because the latter had typhoid fever.

In 1986, Gómez reached world number 1 in the doubles ranking. He won seven doubles events that year, including the men's doubles at the US Open (with Slobodan Živojinović). In 1988, Gómez won his second Grand Slam title at Roland Garros (alongside Emilio Sánchez).

Their first single title occurred in 1981 in Bordeaux. He then won the Rome Masters in 1982, beating Eliot Teltscher in the final in three sets, and again in 1984, when he defeated Aaron Krickstein in four sets.

The culmination of Gómez's career came in 1990, when he reached his first (and only) Grand Slam final at the French Open. There he faced a young Andre Agassi (20 years old), who like Gómez, was playing in his first Grand Slam singles final. The promising American player was considered the favorite, but Gómez seized the moment and won the title with a four-set victory, being the only Ecuadorian to win a single Grand Slam title. Gómez reached his highest ranking in men's singles, obtaining no. 4 in the world.

Throughout his career, Gómez won 21 singles titles and 33 doubles titles. Her last singles title was won in 1991 in Brasilia. Her last doubles title came in 1992 in Barcelona.
