Sergi Bruguera i Torner (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈsɛɾʒi βɾuˈɣeɾə i tuɾˈne]; born 16 January 1971) is a Spanish former professional tennis player and coach. He won consecutive men's singles titles at the French Open in 1993 and 1994, a silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in men's singles and reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 in August 1994.
Bruguera is the only player to have a winning record against both Roger Federer and Pete Sampras. He won three of his five matches against Sampras: Bruguera leads 1–0 on hard court, 2–1 on clay, and Sampras leads 1–0 on carpet.[1] In their only match, at the 2000 Barcelona Open, Bruguera defeated Federer 6–1, 6–1. By number of games won, the match was Federer's worst loss in his entire career.[2]
Bruguera was selected to captain the Spain Davis Cup team in 2018.[3] He became the coach of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga between 2019 and 2022, then he coached Alexander Zverev in May 2022 but they split ways after the 2023 Madrid Open due to creative differences. Now, he is the coach of Arthur Fils with Sébastien Grosjean since October 2023.
